Arbor Month
The people of Tualatin have long seen the health of our tree canopy as vital to our sense of wellbeing and as a defining characteristic of our community. A healthy tree canopy touches our lives and provides us the daily benefit of cleaner air, shadier streets, and the esthetic beauty that trees provide. The Tree City USA signs at Tualatin’s entrances tell visitors that this is a community that cares about its environment. It is also an indication to prospective businesses and residents that the quality of life is better here.
Tualatin celebrates the entire month of April as Arbor Month to recognize the many contributions that trees make to our lives and community. It is a month filled with events and activities to celebrate our leafy friends.
Festivities include:
Arbor Month Kids' Poster Contest Calling all kids! Submit a poster to the Arbor Month Kids' Poster Contest for your chance to win a prize!
"Tualatin Trees" Photo Contest. The Arbor Month Photo Contest is open! Submit a photo of your favorite Tualatin tree for a chance to win a cash prize!

Annual Tree City USA Designation
The City of Tualatin has been recognized as a Tree City since 1987.
The City earned the designation by meeting four fundamental standards of sound urban forestry management:
- Maintaining a tree board or department
- Having a community tree ordinance
- Spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry
- Celebrating Arbor Day
