Tree Team and Steward Resources
Portland is very fortunate to have many passionate community members who care for their neighborhood trees. As well as providing scheduled workshops, Urban Forestry is available to assist Tree Teams and Stewards with their own tree care projects and events.
Urban Forestry also has additional opportunities and resources available for our Tree Teams, volunteers, and stewards. Listed below are additional stewardship opportunities:
Interpretive Tree Walks
Hosting a Tree Walk in your neighborhood or in your favorite park is a great way to introduce new people to your neighborhood trees. Urban Forestry staff can provide resources for how to organize your walk, help you pick trees, and create talking points. Urban Forestry can help promote your walk and create a registration page for people to sign up to walk and learn with you.
Tree Team Projects
Got an idea or need help thinking of an idea for your next Tree Team project? Connect with Urban Forestry staff help to learn about potential opportunities like tree plantings, tree giveaways, pop-up arboreta, local tree care projects, community outreach, and more.
New Tree Team Development
Get help starting a Tree Team in your neighborhood. Connect with Urban Forestry to discuss how to make plans and goals for your new team and learn what resources are available for local tree care projects.
Outreach and Tabling Materials
Get access to Urban Forestry outreach materials to help teach new people about trees. Urban Forestry can provide tree care brochures, planting lists, and information about local tree care and how people can get connected with their community trees.
Portland Pruners Program
Once you have completed the Portland Pruners Program (PPP) orientation training, experienced pruners can organize small pruning workshops in their own neighborhoods. Urban Forestry will provide you and your team with the materials and tools you need to connect with your community and prune young street trees.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you are looking for more ways to get involved or are working to get volunteer hours, Urban Forestry will have many opportunities to volunteer with us. These opportunities include helping with Yard Tree Giveaways, Arbor Day, tabling at community events, assisting with workshops, and more.
