Friends of Trees celebrated its 25th year in style—hosting a gala on a rooftop overlooking Portland and the tree canopy we helped foster. It was a day to bring together our donors, commu-nity partners, staff and volunteers who make our mission possible.

Anniversaries and birthdays are a good time for assessment and reflection. In 25 years, we’ve engaged 100,000 volunteers and added over 500,000 trees in the Pacific Northwest. While numbers tell part of our story, I’m equally proud of the work we’ve done building partnerships with elected officials, urban planners and community leaders, helping shape how we think about improving the ecosystem in the Northwest one tree at a time.

By looking back, we can better look forward to what we want to accomplish in the next year and the next 25. Along with planting street trees, restoring native ecosystems and bringing neighbors together at community plantings, we plan on growing. By reaching out to new community partners in Oregon, Washing-ton and the rest of the nation, we will lead the way in bringing people side by side to plant trees together.

Thank you for taking a moment to share our success and accomplishments to date. Now, let’s look forward to all that we can achieve in the next 25 years. Your help in the past and going forward is essential to our success!

“Friends of Trees started 25 years ago with a very simple premise: to bring people together in planting trees. It’s my honor to volunteer with Friends of Trees to bring the wonder of trees to our cities and natural areas.”

- Tess Jordan, Board President

”There is nothing like getting together with neighbors to put a tree in the ground then come back years later and see that tree 25 feet tall, soak-ing up stormwater, breathing out oxygen, making shade and giving shelter and food to our native birds! As they got older, I brought my kids along: The joy of that experience is infectious enough that my 17 year old became a crew leader himself.”

Jennifer Jones Crew Leader, Volunteer since 1998
