Review for Friends of Trees, Portland, OR, USA
Until volunteering with Friends of Trees, I was mostly an indoor-type person and wanted to change that. So I had been on the lookout for a well-run, professional, environmental, and community-building focused organization to which I could volunteer my time. Friends of Trees is precisely that. The staff knows their stuff when it comes to trees and they know how to expertly organize and manage volunteer, community-based events every single weekend during the planting season. And there's just something fundamental about putting trees into the ground and wondering what they will become 10, 20, and 50 years from now and knowing the benefits trees provide to future generations. Friends of Trees is simply fantastic!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
witnessing the immediate community-building aspects of tree plantings as well as acknowledging the lasting benefits trees have on us and our environment.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
figure out even more ways to promote Friends of Trees throughout the Northwest and nationally, increasing exposure of this great organization beyond just the Portland-Vancouver metro region. There's no reason why Friends of Trees should be our little secret. Franchise!
