On Saturday, February 28th 150 volunteers met at the Assembly of God church (21st and Tillamook) and planted a total of 168 new street trees in 12 Northeast Portland neighborhoods.
The event, which was sponsored by Friends of Trees and supported by New Season Market included six new trees in Sullivan's Gulch.
The 168 trees were of 59 different species, adding to the diversity of trees in our neighborhoods. The new Sullivan's Gulch street trees includ tupelo and scarlet oak. With the 17 street trees added by the Grant Park complex, this brings the number of new street trees planted in Sullivan's Gulch this season to a total of 23.
Board member, John Frewing will be presenting a report about this tree planting event at the upcoming SGNA meeting if you're interested in hearing more details.
Enjoy the beautiful weather we're having... and all these new trees we're lucky to have in our neighborhood!
