Fruit Valley Industrial Area

RSVP required. Sign up today!

Join Urban Forestry to help plant new trees around Mill Plain Blvd in the City’s busy westside industrial area. The newly planted trees will help shade pavement, clean the air and manage stormwater runoff. Help us grow the canopy in this industrial area of the Fruit Valley neighborhood.

Tools, gloves and light refreshments will be provided. We will begin the morning with a short tree planting demonstration before splitting up into smaller groups to plant trees. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens – people of all ages and abilities are welcome! Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

After the tree planting, stop by the Water Resources Education Center for the World Water Day celebration from 1 to 4 p.m for hands-on activities from local community partners, an interactive nature art project and guided nature walks to the Columbia River.

Feel free to contact Urban Forestry at trees@cityofvancouver.us with any questions.
