Please join Friends of Trees in partnership with Clean Water Services for a tree planting work party on March 8, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Englewood Park. Volunteers are also invited to a restoration work party hosted by Friends of Trees in partnership with the city of Sherwood and Clean Water Services on March 29, 2008 at Stella Olsen Park. No experience is necessary, and people of all ages are welcome. Friends of Trees will provide gloves, tools, and guidance. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.

Englewood Park is at the intersection of Springwood Dr and Ironwood Lp, in Tigard, and Stella Olsen Park is at 22256 SW Washington St, in Sherwood. Look for the "Tree Planters at Work" sign.

The plantings are part of Friends of Trees’ Natural Area Restoration program, which works to restore urban natural areas in the four-county Portland-Vancouver area. They have been organized in partnership with Clean Water Services, a public utility committed to protecting water resources in the Tualatin River Watershed, and the cities of Tigard and Sherwood.
