Wilsonville residents can plant trees with their friends at Memorial Park next weekend.
Friends of Trees, a Portland-based nonprofit, and the city of Wilsonville are hosting a community event from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16 to plant native trees and shrubs in Memorial Park. Groups and individuals are needed for the event, according to the city’s website, and interested people can register by selecting the event on the Friends of Trees website calendar .
“It’s been more than 20 years since Friends of Trees and the city of Wilsonville worked together to plant a section of field near the Willamette River,” the city’s website said. “Now that area has the beginnings of a healthy growing forest, (and) we’re ready to add the understory plants to give this patch of habitat an important boost!”
