About Learning Landscapes
Support from Portland Parks & Recreation
PP&R staff members are available to:
- Help design the planting plan
- Provide trees, tools, and planting support staff/volunteers on the planting day
- Provide two years of summer watering and establishment care for the newly planted trees
- Help secure supplies for long-term establishment of the newly planted trees
Leadership from the school
In order to plan a new Learning Landscape, the interested school needs to provide:
- A main contact - A parent/staff/volunteer to help coordinate the tree planting and be responsible for the continued maintenance of the trees
- Community support - A group of 5-10 dedicated volunteers to be present on the planting day and assist with periodic weeding and mulching throughout the first two summers
- Student participation in the tree planting
- Help developing a tree map for school and community use
