Portland Fruit Tree Project
Portland Fruit Tree Project is a small non-profit that organizes neighbors to share in the harvest and care of urban fruit trees. They register fruit and nut trees throughout the city, bring people together to harvest and distribute thousands of pounds of fresh fruit each year to those who need it most, and teach tree care and food preservation in hands-on workshops.
You can register a tree in your yard or become a Tree Scout who registers new fruit trees in the neighborhood.
For more information, please visit the Portland Fruit Tree Project website or email outreach@portlandfruit.org.
