Service Event
Come learn about Friends of Trees' Greenspace Initiative (GSI) and  
plant trees along the I-205 bike path. This service event is more than  
a way to catch-up with friends... it is an opportunity to learn from a  
national leader in urban forestry. We invite you to start off your  
conference experience by seeing first-hand how they do things in  
Portland! Vans depart from the hotel.

Marketing Seminar
The "Leveraging a Positive Perception in a Competitive Marketplace"  
training will provide opportunities for interaction, exercises, and  
discussion. The program content is designed to focus on the  
fundamentals of good marketing with community trees as the product.  
The session is included with registration, so plan your travel  
accordingly.

Scholarships
A limited number of travel scholarships are available to help defray  
airfare and lodging costs for 501c3 member organizations. This  
scholarship is available through generous support from The Home Depot  
Foundation, National Tree Trust, and USDA Forest Service.

More details are coming, but please hold these dates. We hope to see  
you this November in Portland!
