Green Lents

Plant trees with Green Lents and the City of Portland to care for West Lents on February 21! From 9am-12pm, we will plant trees in the West Lents Floodplain with the City Bureau of Environmental Services in addition to our normal Malden Court Community Orchard care.

This floodplain project restores 18 acres in the Johnson Creek floodplain, reconnects the creek to its historic floodplain, reduces flooding on private property, restores habitat for fish and wildlife, and improves water quality in the creek.

At Malden Court Community Orchard, we're focused on pruning trees, fighting back against weeds, picking up trash and preparing for a big raised bed garden project that starts in March.

Stick around after for a wassailing event at the orchard, where we will share cider and sing songs to help "wake up" the trees for spring!

Snacks, coffee, gloves, tools, and water are provided. Join your neighbors and help make Lents a greener, more resilient neighborhood!
