Heritage Tree Program
On Tuesday, November 8, 2005 the Tigard City Council approved an ordinance establishing a
Heritage Tree Program. This program was developed by
the Tigard Tree Board
as a method to identify and raise public awareness of rare/exceptional trees due to
their age, size, species, horticultural quality or historical importance.
The program may offer incentives to private landowners who protect Heritage Trees
growing on their property. Incentives include pruning and soil amendments. Trees
on city property are also eligible for the Heritage Tree designation. Each
Heritage Tree will be identified with a plaque and included on the city's
Heritage Tree Map.
If you have a special tree growing on your property, or if you discover a
noteworthy tree in Tigard, you may nominate the tree for Heritage Tree
designation by completing a Heritage Tree Nomination form.
All nominations will be reviewed by the Tigard City Arborist, the Tree
Board and ultimately the City Council. For more information,
contact the City Arborist at 503-718-2700 or email todd@tigard-or.gov.
