Concordia Tree Inventory Meeting, Tuesday, July 20 at Kennedy School

Posted on July 12, 2010 by katieugolini Posted in Archive, Land Use & Transportation, Trees

Tree

Tuesday, July 20
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Concordia Community Room, Kennedy School

Walking through the neighborhood, do you see too few trees and too many empty planting spaces? Lack of maintenance? Poor quality trees? Your opinions on the state of Concordia’s trees are needed.

Join the Concordia Tree Team for a tree stakeholder meeting on Tuesday, July 20 to share your concerns about the neighborhood’s trees: problems, positives, questions, and solutions.

Feedback will be used to guide a custom inventory of Concordia’s street trees, conducted by volunteers with the help of Portland Parks and Recreation Urban Forestry. Trained volunteers and staff will walk the neighborhood collecting data on tree species, size, site conditions, and available planting spaces.

Data will be used to create a neighborhood stewardship plan and guide urban forest management decisions.

Consider Renting a living Christmas Tree this year

Posted on December 8, 2009 by katieugolini Posted in Archive, Events, Land Use & Transportation, Trees

The Original Living Christmas Tree Company is a nonprofit that delivers living potted Christmas trees for holiday rental. A little after New Year’s, workers pick them up and deliver them to parks, schools and other institutions that pay $10 to have a tree planted on their property. Customers can choose from Douglas fir, Fraser fir, Nordman fir, Balsam fir, Serbian spruce and Scotch pine, which are selected from local nurseries.
