Corvallis Benton County Heritage Trees

Program
The Corvallis Benton County Heritage Trees program focuses on the
forest in Willamette Valley, which is home to many ancient Oregon
white oak, Madrone and Big leaf maple trees. Many trees were also
planted by early settlers near their home sites; the OSU campus also has
an impressive collection of trees. This Corvallis Benton County Heritage
Tree Program was developed in order to honor these exceptional trees.
The Program has a nine-member panel that meets annually to select
trees chosen by the community to honor with Heritage Tree Status.
Trees must meet specimen, historic, landmark, and collection criteria
in order to be honored. The program is voluntary and has no regulatory
component.
