Business leadership and advocacy for trees were cited as reasons we were honored by community tree organizations this spring.

In recognition of our support of Friends of Trees since its founding 20 years ago, we were honored in May with the 2010 Business Leadership Award. The J. Frank Schmidt Family Charitable Foundation was also recognized for the many grants over the years that have supported neighborhood plantings. You can read more about this event on the Friends of Trees blog.

Nancy Buley, Director of Communications, was honored at the annual Oregon Community Trees (OCT) Urban and Community Forestry Conference on June 3. Nancy, who serves on the Friends of Trees Board of Directors and on the Policy Committee for the Alliance for Community Trees (ACT), was recognized in the Professional Category for “her years of tireless advocacy for trees.” You can read about all the award winners on the Oregon Community Trees blog.

Our table at the FOT luncheon included Nancy Buley, Barb Schmidt, Frank Schmidt III, Evelyn Schmidt, Gordy Webster, Jan Barkley, Sam Barkley, Jr. and Sarah Barkley, and Toby Schamberger.

Paul Ries, Oregon’s Urban Forestry coordinator, nominated Nancy Buley for the OCT honor.
