Historic and Heritage Tree Registry
The first three trees to be nominated and to receive the new designation known as “Heritage Status” are an American Elm, an Apricot, and a Horse Chestnut, located in Pioneer Park in the Marycliff/Cliff Park Historic District.
Their historic background, condition, and placement made them excellent candidates for the Register. Also, their size, age, and relative rarity of tree type in size or age were contributing factors. In December the Urban Forestry Tree Committee approved listing the trees as the first on the new Register.
