Growing a more equitable forest: Portland's citywide tree planting strategy

Take the Tree Planting Survey!

5/12/2017

 
Share your opinions about tree planting in this short survey that closes June 30. 

Help the City of Portland develop its tree planting strategy to ensure that all residents have access to trees. Currently, tree canopy in Portland is not equitably distributed throughout the city: lower income neighborhoods have significantly lower tree canopy than other neighborhoods.

Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry is partnering with community members, stakeholders, and Portland State University to identify the best ways to expand tree canopy access for all residents. Feedback from this short survey will help us understand opportunities and barriers to tree planting in our communities.

All Portlanders need trees! Help the City of Portland develop its planting strategy to ensure that all residents have access to trees. Currently, tree canopy in Portland is not equitably distributed throughout the city: lower income neighborhoods have significantly lower tree canopy than other neighborhoods.

Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry is partnering with community members, stakeholders, and Portland State University to identify the best ways to expand tree canopy access for all residents.

The Citywide Tree Planting Strategy Advisory Committee will work closely with Parks to provide input to provide input. The committee will meet five times from June through October 2017 and will assist with:
  • Identifying barriers to tree planting for low income communities
  • Providing recommendations on how to work with communities to plant trees and gain support, with special attention to communities of color and low income communities
  • Reviewing City bureau and public agency priorities around tree planting
  • Reviewing a prioritization data tool for selecting tree planting sites

This website serves as the home for information about the development of Portland's Citywide Tree Planting Strategy -- a strategy that aims to equitably expand Portland's tree canopy and engage communities. This project is a collaboration between Portland State University's Sustaining Urban Places Research Lab and Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry.  The project is for one year -- beginning in September 2016 and ending in December 2017.

The website is also the primary place to learn about the project and find opportunities for participation. You can participate in many ways, including sharing your feedback, participating on a Public Advisory Committee, attending a workshop, and/or taking our tree planting survey. Visit "Get Involved" for details.

Updates and preliminary findings will be posted on this site, although to receive project updates by email, please enter your contact information on the "Subscribe to Newsletter" link to the right of this page.
