Friends of Trees

Friends of Trees is a nonprofit organization that organizes volunteers for tree-planting and tree-care projects along city streets, in urban natural areas and on school grounds. In 2002, the City of Wilsonville and Friends of Trees established a partnership to create native plant communities (a variety of plants living together in a specific area) within Memorial Park. Planting native riparian vegetation (vegetation that is adjacent to a stream, river or lake) and re-establishing native forested areas are an essential part of a healthy eco-system.Friend of Trees has planted tree seedlings in various locations throughout Memorial Park. You can observe where the seedling growth has been very successful in such areas as the meadow just east of the forested area, the area east of the Boeckman Creek bridge (up the hill and to the right of the path) and just west of the dog park, where the city removed numerous non-native trees and planted native varieties. 
The City foresees a continuation of this valuable partnership whereby volunteers are given an opportunity to contribute to the health and beautification of Wilsonville.
