Tree Planting in Vancouver with Friends of Trees

April 15, 2023 @ 8:45 am - 1:00 pm

Let’s plant trees together in Vancouver’s Central-North neighborhoods (along NE Fourth Plain corridor).

Date/Time: Saturday, April 15th at 8:45am.

Address: City of Vancouver Operations Center: 4711 E 4th Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98661

Please Note: There will be a lot of people present at the event. Please look for the Pink Lemonade Project sign to guide you to our group.

Here is some information from Friends of Trees:

Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 9:00am. Friends of Trees provides gloves, tools, and guidance, as well as light breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Following the event there will be a warm potluck lunch provided by the hosting neighborhood groups. We ask that all volunteers dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes/boots you don’t mind getting dirty and be ready to have fun! Due to the small nature of this event, we will be in groups of approximately 5 people.  We thank you for your understanding.

Private transportation: You will travel from the meeting location to several planting sites in the nearby neighborhood (up to several miles). We recommend private transportation (bike or vehicle), but there may be an option to carpool if others in your small planting crew are also comfortable with this. Please note: FOT is requiring that anyone carpooling with others outside of their household wear a face mask, and crack the windows of the vehicle.

What about Covid-19? We require that all people at our events cancel if you are feeling unwell or have been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid-19 within 3 days of the event.  We recommend everyone is fully-vaccinated, bring and wear a face mask when working in close quarters, and respects 6’ of physical distance.

Where will these trees be planted? In the following neighborhoods:  Bagley Downs, Fourth Plain Village, Green Meadows, Maplewood, Meadow Homes, Ogden, Vanmall, Walnut Grove, and West Minnehaha.

Questions?  Please check out the FOT Volunteer FAQ webpage.

Complimentary event for those affected by breast cancer.
