About Urban Forestry:

Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry’s mission is to manage and ensure Portland’s urban forest infrastructure for current and future generations. Our urban forest consists of over 220,000 street trees, 1.2 million park trees, and innumerable private property trees. Urban Forestry is involved in managing or regulating all of these trees to differing degrees – creating and implementing the city’s Urban Forest Management Plan, fostering community tree awareness and stewardship, developing tree policies and programs, monitoring and assessing the urban forest, issuing permits for planting, pruning, and removal of all public and some private trees, and responding to tree emergencies.

Successful candidates will have experience working with people from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Portland Parks & Recreation values a diverse workforce and seeks ways to promote equity and inclusion within the organization. PP&R encourages applications from candidates with knowledge, ability, and experience working with a broad range of individuals and diverse communities.
