Tree Fest was a success this past weekend! 💫

We completed a beautiful community art project that focused on oak tree habitats, made TONS of nature crafts, and spent time building a fairy village (our favorite creations are at the end) 🧚‍♀️

It was so fun to meet everyone who came to help support our city trees!

Sending out a big THANKS to all of our volunteers for making it happen (especially our MCC Tree Stewards).

See you next year! 💗

We are transforming the turf-dominated sidewalk esplanades outside of Fort Sumner Park into a resilient native habitat corridor and we need your help! 🌳🌞

Join Maine Audubon, the Portland Parks Conservancy and City of Portland’s Sustainability Office in transforming the esplanades along North St on October 5th, 6th, & 7th. We will spend the days removing the grass and planting with natives.

This initiative will support the neighborhood through enhancing neighborhood walkability, improving soil health, increasing biodiversity, and supporting the long-term canopy survival of Portland’s street trees!

Come for a couple hours or a whole day!
