Working to protect and advocate for trees in Washington County
Saturday, November 16, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Noble Woods Tree Walk
Rescheduled for November 23rd!
Noble Woods park is a 38-acre plot at 231st Avenue and Baseline in Hillsboro. The park represents one of the oldest and largest forested areas in Hillsboro, with majestic old trees including century-old cedars and firs. Paved and soft-surface paths lead through open and wooded natural areas, boardwalks and bridges over Rock Creek for wildlife viewing opportunities.
Please join the Treekeeepers for a leisurely walk in this peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. It may be a good opportunity to visit this park prior to Washington County’s plan to extend Century Boulevard between Main Street and Lois Street beginning spring 2025.
October through March
Join Our On-call Ivy Crew
​​English ivy hangs on through winter at a time trees are particularly vulnerable — the invasive vines keep growing while trees are dormant, and the excess weight can increase risks for trees during winter storms. Help us save trees by removing ivy and other invasive plants that threaten them. ​Weather makes it hard to schedule events, so please, sign up and we'll notify you when there is a good weather window so we can schedule an ivy pulling event. And if you know of a location where trees are suffering from ivy, you can notify us on this form.
Sundays, 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Volunteer trail work
Sylvan Heights is creating a series of nature trails. They will be girdling ivy as they go. To join them, meet at the clubhouse, 7600 SW Barnes Road, Portland. Wear old clothes and be prepared for blackberries. Bring water, and hand pruners if you have them. No need to sign up, just come when you can.
Treekeepers Meetings
Treekeepers is an all-volunteer organization. We depend on you: your ideas and energy. Please join us in our meetings to help guide our decisions. We hold monthly subcommittee meetings for Policy & Strategy, Events & Outreach, occasional Communications meetings, and monthly All-Committee Meetings. Your input is valued, and everyone is welcome.
