WHAT: Clinton Street Fair
WHERE: Specific meeting location sent after registration
WHEN: Sept 6, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Celebrate community at the Clinton Street Fair while helping Urban Forestry grow our city's canopy! Volunteers will help people submit interest forms for our popular Free Yard Tree Giveaway events that occur every fall. Share your love of trees with folks curious about getting up to 3 free trees! We'll provide a short training on the Yard Tree Giveaway program and education materials you can use to get people excited about trees. And, of course, staff will always be there to help in any way!
Each shift lasts 2.5 hours, so you'll have plenty of time before/after your shift to enjoy the celebration.
Before attending any event: if you are not feeling well, have a temperature above 100.4ᵒ or receive a recommendation to self-isolate – please stay home.
Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry's mission is to manage and ensure Portland's urban forest infrastructure for current and future generations. Portland’s urban forest consists of 220,000 street trees, 1.2 million park trees, and nearly 3 million private property trees.
Urban Forestry is involved in managing or regulating all of these trees to differing degrees. Urban Forestry staff issue permits for planting, pruning, and removal of all public and some private trees and are on call 24/7 to respond to tree emergencies.
