Attention - FREE TREES for Portlanders, both renters and property owners! POCO is proud to partner with Portland Parks & Recreation and Urban Forestry for the Yard Tree Giveaway. This is an incredible opportunity for Portlanders to receive up to three beautiful, healthy trees for free! This initiative supports a greener, healthier city by making it easier for community members to plant and care for trees right in their own yards. POCO is honored to be part of this effort, helping neighbors connect with nature, improve air quality, and contribute to a more vibrant urban forest. Learn more and sign up at portland.gov/trees/tree-planting/free-trees-partners. Let’s grow something great together! Our partners will even deliver and plant your trees for you! Sign up!
