Help care for trees in your neighborhood by becoming a Neighborhood Tree Steward, a local leader who promotes proper tree care and serves as a resource for his/her neighborhood on tree issues. To become a Neighborhood Tree Steward (NTS) you do not need to know a lot about trees. You do need to have a passion for trees, desire to learn, and the commitment to help. We offer a 7-session course that covers general tree care, tree biology, tree planting, preservation, and identification. Once trained, Tree Stewards work with PP&R staff on tree projects in their neighborhood. For more info, contact Karl Dawson, 503-823-1650 or Autumn Montegna, 503-701-7622.
