Planting Event - James John Elementary School

Join us for our re-planting event at James John Elementary School!

All ages and ability welcome!

*Registration closes on Sunday, November 29th

Join Depave in partnership with Friends of Trees and the Xerces Society for a big planting day at James John Elementary School.

NOTE: There are multiple volunteer sessions for this event. Tree Planting volunteers will meet at the Friends of Trees Neighborhood Tree Planting Hub at Cesar Chavez School (5103 N Willis Blvd, Portland, OR 97203) to sign in. Depave Staff & Crew Leaders will be at Cesar Chavez School to greet Depave volunteers and help with coordination as we travel to James John with our trees.

Understory Planting volunteers will meet later at James John Elementary. The understory planting will take place after the large trees have been installed, to reduce trampling.

The tree crew will plant 9 large stock evergreen trees around the soccer pitch at James John.

The understory crew will plant grasses, shrubs, and flowers provided by the Xerces Society’s Pollinator Habitat Kit Program.

Snacks will be provided! Hot coffee & pastries in the morning; snacks for the late morning/early afternoon.
