  • Conservation. It grows on trees! Tree shade can help cut your energy costs by 30% during the summer.
  • Health. It grows on trees! Trees clean our water, soil, and air. And dirty water, soil, and air cost us a lot more than money.
  • Community. It grows on trees! Tree-lined streets calm and slow traffic. This creates safer neighborhoods and happier people.
  • And yes, even money grows on trees! Planting a single tree on your property can increase its value by $7,000.
Plant it Portland! is Friends of Trees’ new rallying cry. It’s our call to action, our invitation to join the cause. It talks directly to the people in a way they can relate to.

KEEP IT LOCAL
We engaged local illustrator Amy Ruppel to create some fun and friendly art for our campaign. She’s one of a handful of local artists gaining national recognition and putting Portland on the map. You can see more of her work at amyruppel.com.

Together we’ll turn our city from grey to green by planting thousands of trees. It’s our job to spread a positive message of growth, renewal, and what we can all do together.

So come on, Plant it Portland! Let’s all discover the good things that grow on trees!
