Portland, Oregon parks are lovely. There are many mature trees and beautiful amenities. One great change would be to add new generations of trees. The more trees we plant the more oxygen we create and the fresher the air will be. Also, more trees will equal less lawn mowing which will also improve the air by removing the gas exhaust from lawn equipment. Noise will also be lessened due to less lawn mowing. It's a win-win-win + we can harness the energy of the community to help with labor and enthusiasm. Let's plant 1 million trees in Portland, Oregon parks as soon as possible. 

Come join our FB group working to make good things happen for trees in Portland, Oregon.
