Do you have an idea for a project that will improve your community and the environment? Environmental Services has resources to help fund your ideas for planting trees and native plants in the households, businesses, non-profits, schools, and local places of worship that you are involved in within the Eliot Neighborhood.

Project ideas include, but are not limited to:
- Planting trees in your yard and encouraging neighbors to join you
- Installing a rain garden or native plants at a place of worship, business, non-profit, or school
- Removing pavement and replacing it with trees or plants
- Engaging your community group in watershed education opportunities
To learn more about how we can fund your Eliot Neighborhood project, contact 2theriver@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-8209.
