Heritage Trees

The goals of the Oregon Heritage Tree Program are to recognize and designate individual heritage trees or groves of trees with statewide or national significance, to educate Oregonians about the value of the history of these trees, to promote appreciation of the trees, and to retain and protect these trees as part of our state’s heritage. Download the Heritage Tree and Historical Marker brochure. You can also request to have a brochure mailed to you.

1. The tree (or group of trees) is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of our history.
2. The tree (or group of trees) is associated with the life of a person or group of historic significance.
3. The tree (or group of trees) represents a significant and distinguishable entity within a community or location.
4. The tree (or group of trees) has age, size, or species significance that contributes to its heritage status.
