Portland Fruit Tree Project is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that focuses on gleaning and sharing harvest from urban fruit trees to expand access to healthy food and related environmental benefits. By organizing neighbors to care for and harvest fruit, the group aims to reduce waste, build local knowledge, and create sustainable methods for obtaining locally grown produce, with the broader goal of improving food security and community resilience. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and emphasizes community-based solutions applicable to other regions, reflecting its belief in the potential to replicate its programming elsewhere. Founded in 2006 and rooted in a grassroots approach, the project collaborates with local partners to transform urban spaces into productive fruit sources, as illustrated by past partnerships and neighborhood initiatives in Portland. The organization is small in scale, serving the Portland area, and has a dedicated focus on empowering residents to participate in urban orcharding and gleaning activities to address access to healthy food and the broader benefits of trees.
