CITY NATURE EAST CREW LEADERS\u00a0<\/strong>– Crews enhance the native ecology of Portland Parks & Recreation’s\u00a0natural areas by removing introduced plants, including ivy, blackberry, and other species. Crews\u00a0also take care of young native plants, conduct community science, collect data, and build split-rail\u00a0fences. Crew leaders are responsible for teaching job skills, ecology, restoration techniques, and\u00a0for building appreciation for our natural areas.<\/p>\nTRAIL CREW LEADER\u00a0<\/strong>– The Trail Crew maintains trails in Portland Parks & Recreation natural areas. Using standard industry techniques for sustainable trail maintenance, the crew focuses on reducing sediment entering Portland’s rivers, streams, and water bodies by reducing erosion, improving grading and drainage, improving stream crossings, and closing unofficial trails. Trail crew leaders guide the work of teens as they build trails, crib walls, rock walls, and other structures, teaching technical skills and ecology.<\/p>\nTREE CREW LEADER\u00a0<\/strong>– The Tree Crew works in Portland parks, in rights-of-way, and on public school\u00a0properties around Portland. The Tree Crew learns proper tree pruning techniques with a variety of\u00a0tools. They weed, mulch, and water young trees to maintain the health of Portland’s urban canopy.\u00a0In addition, the Tree Crew may perform tree inventory data collection, learn about mapping and\u00a0GIS, visit Heritage Trees, and harvest fruit from Urban Forestry’s test orchard in a community work\u00a0party. The crew leader should know proper pruning techniques, tree identification, and basic\u00a0arboriculture which they will demonstrate to the crew on a daily basis. The crew leader will support\u00a0crew members as they learn how to safely perform tree-related tasks and will also teach the\u00a0importance\u00a0of a thriving urban\u00a0forest.<\/p>\nCOMMUNITY GARDENS CREW LEADER\u00a0<\/strong>– The Community Gardens Crew will help build and repair community gardens around town. The crew will interact with gardeners from around the world and explore issues related to gardening and food justice.
