The Park Commission is soliciting nominations of noteworthy trees in our public open spaces for the City’s third year of Heritage Tree Designation.

Individuals can nominate trees based on their aesthetic, educational or historic values. If you have a favorite tree or group of trees, the Park Commission would like to hear from you.
