 Project Vision and Goals: 

Ensure that every fruit tree in the PDX metro area is seen as an abundant resource for the neighborhood by:

1) identifying/locating it, 

2) assessing/measuring it, 

3) engaging in an intervention plan (planting, care, removal/replacement, or harvest, etc) as needed/invited, 

4) contributing to research about fruit trees in our urban canopy.

We believe that more data, tracking, and care for fruit trees will equate to more high quality fruit to eat and share, increased fruit tree retention - which also means more shade, and more equitable local food production and access.
