Wilkes East Neighbors:
As a result of the high winds over the last week an incredible amount of debris has fallen in our parks. The City cannot handle the cleanup without help from community volunteers. This Saturday, January 25th, Parks & Recreation is organizing cleanups in the following four parks from 9AM to Noon:
Please come by one of these parks this Saturday to help with a cleanup. All you will need is your work gloves (or the City will provide them).
If you can’t make it to one of these parks on Saturday and you want to do something to help the Wilkes East Neighborhood you can go to Columbia View Park, 1000 NE 169th Ave anytime. You'll see some neighbors have already begun piling branches -- and you can continue this work.

Friends of Trees comes to Gresham!
1st Neighborhood Planting Mar 21st!
|
When: Sunday Mar 21, 2009
Where: Your neighborhood
Gresham OR
On March 21nd 2009 Friends of Trees will be hosting their 1st Neighborhood Planting event in the city of Gresham. Friends of Trees is a non-profit organization that brings communities together to help them expand tree cover in their neighborhoods and to improve their environment.
Planting a tree in your yard or parking strip creates long lasting benefits enjoyed by everyone! Did you know that trees remove pollutants from the air? A typical tree absorbs 10 pounds of pollutants, cleans 330 pounds of carbon dioxide, and creates 260 pounds of oxygen each year! Trees also help intercept and retain 760 gallons of rainwater each year, which help keep our rivers clean and help save us money on stormwater fees! Trees raise the property value of your home by up to 20%.
