Urban Forestry
The City of La Grande Celebrates 34 Years as a
Tree City USA!
La Grande Community Forestry Program Video
Our awesome trees make La Grande a beautiful place to live. The community forest provides clean air and water, cooler streets and homes, and wildlife habitat. Money does grow on trees with increased property values and energy savings! Trees give us that essential connection to nature that improves our health and well-being.
The mission of The Urban Forestry Division is to preserve and protect the beautiful, majestic trees we have and to plant more, up to 100 a year, so that we keep the marvelous tree-lined streets and wonderful parks that we love today and our grandchildren will enjoy in the future.
