2007 marked the genesis of Portland OR Arborist, a platform born from a profound appreciation for the urban forestry landscape of Oregon’s largest city. As trees and greenery are the lifeblood of Portland’s unique charm, a group of dedicated individuals recognized the need for a comprehensive news source that would serve as a beacon of knowledge for both professionals and enthusiasts in the field of arboriculture.
Our mission from the outset has been to provide accurate, timely, and insightful content on all aspects related to Portland’s urban forestry. We aim to educate, inform, and engage our audience with a commitment to unbiased reporting and a deep respect for the environment that surrounds us. Over the years, we have grown from a modest blog into a trusted news resource, achieving significant milestones such as becoming a go-to platform for industry professionals and a source of environmental education for the public.
Our core values are rooted in the principles of integrity, sustainability, and community. We believe in fostering a vibrant ecosystem of information exchange where experts, hobbyists, and city planners can find relevant and reliable data to enhance their understanding and practices within urban forestry.
The creation of Portland OR Arborist was motivated by an observed information gap on the internet. There was a lack of comprehensive, up-to-date news and resources that catered specifically to the unique challenges and opportunities presented by Portland’s tree population. Our website fills this void by delivering news, research updates, conservation efforts, and insights into urban forestry management.

- Elena Rivera – Editor-in-Chief, with a Master’s in Environmental Science and a passion for urban conservation.

- Liam O’Connor – Community Outreach Coordinator, responsible for fostering engagement among our readers.
- Natalie Rodriguez – Environmental Policy Expert, providing insights into the regulatory landscape affecting arboriculture.
- Aiden Chen – Digital Media Specialist, overseeing our online presence and ensuring content accessibility.
Our business model is centered around delivering high-quality, niche news content through a subscription service that provides in-depth articles, expert analysis, and exclusive webinars. We also offer consulting services to city planners and urban forestry departments looking for data-driven insights.
We invite our readers to engage with us by submitting tips, commenting on articles, and providing feedback to help us refine our content. Our audience ranges from arborists, city officials, and environmental activists to curious residents and students studying ecology or urban planning.
