More Beers Bought, More Trees Planted

BEND, OR-- Four Oregon beverage makers - including one in Central Oregon - are teaming up to plant trees in Oregon's parks and forests, following the devestating 2020 wildfires and damaging heat in 2021.

Sunriver Brewing’s Ryan Duley tells KBND News, "We really wanted to find a way to support the regrowth - or, whatever we could do to help out this situation. Having Stoller Wine, Fort George and Portland Cider all involved, we can have a larger impact than we’d be able to do on our own, as far as how much we could raise and in turn, how many trees we could help plant." It's a partnership with the nonprofit Oregon Parks Forever.

Duley says, "In the month of July and August, every six-pack of cans of one of the four participating breweries, wineries, cideries we give $1 and that $1 equates to one tree." Those purchases must be made at a participating retailer. Duley says shoppers can look for large displays promoting the "You buy one, we plant one" campaign, "Our goal is to raise $25,000 to plant 25,000 trees."

It's the second year for the effort. Duley says the group raised $25,000 in 2021.
