Friends of Trees

Friends of Trees empowers people to improve the natural world around them through a simple solution: Planting Trees. Together.

We were founded in 1989 by a community member who loved trees and started planting them in Portland neighborhoods.

Today, Friends of Trees is a nationally recognized, regional leader in improving the urban tree canopy and restoring sensitive natural areas—through programs delivered by thousands of volunteers. Friends of Trees greens our region while building community.

Oregon Environmental Council

Oregon Environmental Council advances innovative, collaborative and equitable solutions to Oregon’s environmental challenges for today and future generations.

Founded in 1968, Oregon Environmental Council is a nonprofit, non-partisan, membership-based organization. We protect the health of every Oregonian and the place we call home by working for clean air and water, a healthy climate, and an unpolluted landscape.

The Intertwine Alliance is a coalition of 150+ public, private and nonprofit organizations working to integrate nature more deeply into the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region.

Our projects include work with access trails, forestry, conservation, clean water, waste management, greening schoolyards, education and more.

Have an idea for a project but need partners to collaborate with? Pitch it on our website! Or contact Tara Wilkinson at tara@theintertwine.org.

Green America is a national, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, membership organization founded in 1982. Our mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

What Makes Green America Unique

The Oregon League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization with a simple mission: To pass laws that protect Oregon’s environmental legacy, elect pro-environment candidates to office, and hold all of our elected officials accountable.

OLCV believes that to truly protect Oregon’s natural legacy, we can’t afford to ignore politics. And that the quality of our kids’ and grandkids’ futures depend on our active and engaged citizenship today.
