Friends of Trees will plant its monumental millionth tree* in this planting season, in April 2025! Our entire planting season—which is just getting started—will be a celebration of the impact of one million trees and native shrubs in our communities and natural areas, all planted by community volunteers. Our 1 Millionth Tree celebration will propel us into our next chapter of trees + community and get us started on the next million. We want your business to be a part of it!  🌳 This is an unprecedented, non-repeatable opportunity for Friends of Trees and our community. As part of this high-visibility, multifaceted campaign, we’ll have special events, storytelling, and additional promotional opportunities, above and beyond our already substantial suite of volunteer events, newsletters, social media content, and audience engagement. 🌳 Without the support of our business community, we wouldn't be able to bring people together to grow trees + community. To get involved in our Millionth Tree campaign, contact our Corporate & Business Relations Manager Sam Erman at SamE@FriendsofTrees.org.

This season at Friends of Trees we will plant our millionth tree. Our millionth tree, like all of the trees and native shrubs we’ve planted, will be planted the Friends of Trees Way, with the power of community volunteers. 🌳 You're invited to be a part of this! Our 36th planting season calendar is full of opportunities to volunteer with Friends of Trees, culminating in our millionth tree planted in April. We'll also have plenty of fun Millionth Tree events beyond our normal programming, so stay tuned! 🌳 Donate in honor of our Millionth Tree Celebration! Together, we fight climate change, build community, and make our neighborhoods so much more livable—this is the cornerstone of our mission and we can't thank you enough for being a part of it. We truly need trees, community, and your support more than ever.  🌳 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gfevHNS8

Glad to be part of this tree planting last weekend with my boys. The weather was wonderful, shining down as volunteers, civic leaders, and families gathered to remember lives lost in the 2021 heat dome event, and to plant 72 trees in Nadaka park and at homes in surrounding East Portland communities. https://lnkd.in/gweX_8jU Volunteering at a planting with Friends of Trees is a great experience, highly recommend. You'll hear me talk more about trees nowadays, as I have joined the board to help with more than my shovel abilities. #portlandoregon #climatechange #friendsoftrees #plantsomething #buildingcommunity #volunteering #decarbonization

Thanks to our friends at STRAiGHTAWAY Cocktails for creating a cocktail benefiting yours truly to plant trees & grow community.
