Bend’s new Urban Forestry program is embarking on an ambitious project to create the most comprehensive inventory of the City’s trees… and you can be part of it.

What is the Bend Tree Project?

• A volunteer-based community effort to count trees along city streets, in the right-of-way or on other city property, led by Bend Urban Forester Ian Gray.
• A vital tool for better managing Bend’s urban forest.
• To keep our trees healthy, we need to know their location, size and condition. These factors will also help us understand where new trees can be planted.
• Anyone can be a volunteer scientist – no special skills required & training provided.

Orientation Sessions take place on May 2 & 3, so learn more and sign up to volunteer today on the Bend Tree Project page.
