Conduct community tree planting and tree pruning education workshops in Oregon City neighborhoods during the 2024-2025 planting season. The focus of the planting projects is to maintain and increase tree canopy cover throughout the city, by planting appropriate trees within public rights-of-way as well as in residential yards across neighborhoods within the Oregon City limits. Urban tree canopy is a valuable resource to communities for a multitude of reasons, some of the most notable being: stormwater retention, shade and its associated cooling effects, improved air quality, enhanced neighborhood aesthetics, improved wildlife habitat, and increased property values. The successful candidate will work with the City to conduct preliminary neighborhood outreach and planting location details, but will take the lead on: coordinating public outreach and education within Oregon City, publicizing events, recruiting volunteers, organizing and facilitating planting and pruning events, procuring and delivering good quality trees.
