Friends of Trees: Green Space Tree Care

To help newly-planted trees and shrubs get a jump on the invasives competition this spring, Friends of Trees is organizing a series of Tree Care events in May at some of our Green Space Initiative native restoration planting sites. It’s a great way to get outside and enjoy the spring weather, as well as help ensure the success of these planting sites.

No experience is necessary! We’ll not only teach you how to remove invasive plant species by hand, but we’ll also teach native plant identification skills and various care techniques.

If you’d like to participate, simply arrive at the site by 9 a.m. and we’ll provide refreshments, gloves and tools. We hope to see you out there!

Saturday, May 1: Happy Valley Park 13770 SE Ridgecrest Road, Happy Valley
