Balm Grove planting (Gales Creek, OR)

About the event

Join Friends of Trees to plant native trees and shrubs following the removal of the Balm Grove Dam a few miles Northwest of Forest Grove. This planting is in partnership with Clean Water Services, who has been working with partners to remove this dam and improve fish passage in Gales Creek since 2016. Your support is crucial to the success of this project — thank you for considering signing-up!

Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 9:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and planting guidance, as well as breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate — all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather wearing sturdy shoes or boots, and be ready to have fun!

How do I register? Register by filling out this quick form. Groups, families, and individuals welcome!

Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian.  Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a youth waiver form signed by their parent/guardian.
