The trees are waking from their winter slumber. Now is a great time to be in community with and amongst them. And, what better way to do that than to become a Neighborhood Tree Steward (NTS) with Urban Forestry!
NTS participants learn about Portland’s urban forest and how to support its growth and protection through care and advocacy.
The 2025 session will consist of seven indoor and outdoor classes on alternating Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings, from May 10 to June 21. The program will cover a wide range of tree-related topics like proper pruning practices, shade equity in Portland, and how to prepare for the arrival of the emerald ash borer.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to:
- Learn more about trees
- Meet like-minded tree friends
- Explore tree canopy across the city
- Learn how to promote trees in their communities
Grow new skills and make a difference in your community with the Neighborhood Tree Steward Program! Applications due by April 21.
