> The January Citywide Parks Team meeting will focus on the city's  
> Tree Policy and Regulatory Improvement Project.  This is a citywide,  
> multi-bureau effort -- an outcome of the Urban Forestry Action Plan (http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=148415 
> ).
>
> The project will address multiple issues related to trees in the  
> city -- preservation, cutting, planting, enforcement, violations,  
> and more. An inter-bureau team is now working on issue identification.
>
> Learn about opportunities to become involved with the project,  
> including discussion groups to be formed in late January with  
> meetings to begin in February.
>
> NOTE RE MEETING LOCATION. It is important that you arrive between  
> 6:45 and 7:10 pm. Because the doors at the Portland Building  
> automatically lock at 6 pm, a Park employee must be at the 5th Ave  
> entrance to let participants in. Once s/he leaves to join the  
> meeting (at 7:10 pm), you may not be able to enter the building.

> The Portland Citywide Parks Team is an ad hoc citizens group, formed  
> in February 2005.  Monthly meetings provide a forum for information- 
> sharing and an exchange of ideas -- and for respectful discourse on  
> park issues and policies.  There are also opportunities to network  
> with others who are working and volunteering to make Portland's  
> parks even better than they are today.  It's citizen-initiated,  
> citizen-led, citizen-owned, and intended for all Portlanders who  
> care about getting things done in and for parks in Portland.
>
> The Citywide Parks Team meetings are open to anyone.  The group  
> doesn't have designated members or a formal committee structure.  
> Interested individuals are encouraged to drop in whenever they can.  
> It's a self-selected, ever-changing group that meets monthly, from  
> 7:00 to 8:30 pm on the third Thursday, in the Forest Park Conference  
> Room at the Portland Building.  Attendance has ranges from 5 to 40+  
> people, depending on the topic.
>
> Sign up for the group's e-mail listserve by sending a blank email
