What is a Heritage Tree?

A Portland City ordinance was passed in 1993 that calls for the Urban Forestry Commission to maintain a list of Heritage Trees. These trees are chosen based on their age, size, type, historical association or horticultural value and are placed under extra protection.

For further information, or to nominate a tree for future consideration, please visit the Portland Parks & Recreation website.
