Dear Neighbor,
Tagged street trees at this

structure. Specific pruning will depend
on age, size, location, health and species of the tree. Pruning will be done by trained volunteers to
City of Portland street tree pruning standards.
Please join the Arbor Lodge Tree Team and Portland Parks &
Recreation to care for your urban forest. Pruning will start at Gammans Park on
July 12 at 9 a.m. and July 15 & July 22 at 7 p.m. For questions or to join

additional pruning is needed please visit www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/trees to
apply for a pruning permit or schedule an arborist consultation.
Please have your green yard debris bin accessible
for branch disposal. If your green yard
debris bin is not accessible, branches will be bundled and left at the base of
the tree.

that are rubbing, growing into the tree or broken.
