THRIVE EAST PDX: TREE CANOPY ENHANCEMENT FOR SHADE EQUITY
In Portland, hotter areas of the city, called urban heat islands, disproportionately occur in the 13 neighborhoods of East Portland.
This program aims to bring together community and business groups to increase the number of drought-resistant native trees and shrubs to be planted along major commercial streets. We will plant trees and create shaded seating areas to reduce impact of climate extremes relating to heat in our 13 East Portland neighborhoods.
