Friends of Trees is a nonprofit organization focused on environmental action through community tree planting. Based in Portland, Oregon, it has engaged tens of thousands of local residents since its founding in 1989 to plant trees and native shrubs across six counties in two states, aiming to improve neighborhoods and natural areas while addressing climate-related challenges. The organization positions itself within the non-profit sector dedicated to conservation and urban forestry, delivering tangible environmental benefits through participatory planting efforts and inclusive, equitable programming. Its work targets a broad community audience, including volunteers and partner organizations, who participate in planting events and programs that support urban forestry and habitat restoration. A recent collaboration with Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry and the Bird Alliance of Oregon exemplifies ongoing partnerships to expand planting activities in priority neighborhoods and public spaces.
