Urban Forestry

Program

Trees cool our city during record-breaking heat, clean our air, and make Portland beautiful. Through partnerships with neighbors and volunteers, we grow Portland’s urban forest for everyone. Explore tree care, tree giveaways, volunteer opportunities, and rules for planting, pruning, and removal.
