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.
