Plant Trees with Learning Landscapes at Alameda Elementary

Urban Forestry is working with Alameda Elementary to plant trees on their grounds.
For this project, we are looking for adult volunteers* to help students to plant trees!

Work will include:

• Setting out tools
• Watching a demonstration on how to properly plant a tree
• Leading elementary students in the tree planting process
• Helping students dig their hole, lift their tree, and talking them through the steps for tree planting
• Staking trees
• Cleaning up tools

Details:

• Each volunteer will be planting one (1) trees with a group of students
• We will work rain or shine, so be sure to dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes
• Snacks and water will be provided to volunteers. Please bring a reusable water bottle
• Urban Forestry will have gloves and all the tools needed

*This event is only for adults (18+).
*Volunteers working this event need to have a background check on file with Portland Parks & Recreation. If you aren't sure if you have a background check on file or need to fill out the form, please contact Elena at elena.amaya@portlandoregon.gov.
