News Release

Celebrate Arbor Month In Tualatin (Photo) - 04/01/26

Tualatin has proudly held the Tree City USA designation since 1987.   

 
Tualatin, OR – The City of Tualatin invites community members to celebrate Arbor Month this April with events, contests, and volunteer opportunities that all honor the trees that make Tualatin a greener, healthier place to call home.  

“Tualatin is a community that cares deeply about trees and the benefits they bring. A healthy tree canopy means cleaner air, shadier gathering places, and a more beautiful place for everyone to enjoy.” – Event Coordinator Heidi Marx 

Throughout April, the city will host a variety of events for people to connect with trees and, in some cases, get their hands dirty!  

  • April 9 – Learn about treetop wildlife with the Juanita Pohl Center  

  • April 11 – Arbor Day Tree Planting, in partnership with PGE 

  • April 24 – Earth Day Invasive Species Removal Volunteer Event 

In addition, we invite you to grab a copy of our Arbor Month scavenger hunt and take a stroll through your local park or trail to complete the bingo card.  
 

At the March 23, 2026, City Council Meeting, the City Council recognized the winners of the Arbor Month Kids Poster Contest and the Arbor Month Photo Contest. Tenley Richardson attended the meeting to receive her award in person and take a photo with the City Council (photo attached).
