Portland Mayor Sam Adams helped the local nonprofit Friends of Trees launch its Plant It Portland! campaign this morning by planting a street tree at the home of a Richmond neighborhood resident. It was one of the first of 16,000 trees to be added to planting strips in east Portland neighborhoods during the next three years. Volunteers planted a total of 130 street and yard trees in the Buckman, Hosford-Abernethy and Richmond neighborhoods today. www.FriendsofTrees.org
