Rescued Oregon Timber

UPDATE: crews began removing Portland’s Heritage Tree #1 on Monday 8/5🌳 It’s not the oldest or the tallest or most impressive of all of Portland’s trees, but it is a significant one. Known as the “Burrell elm” or “Rosa’s tree” this was chosen as the first of Portland’s Heritage Trees that are formally recognized for “their unique size, age, historical or horticultural significance” starting in the ‘90s. Today, there are over 300 Heritage Trees with more are added every year, but this was the first. Because of storm damage and the declining health the tree is stressed beyond preservation. To protect community safety Portland Parks & Recreation will begin removing this tree Monday, August 5, 2024. For over 150 years it has stood as a living symbol of the value that comes from preserving our natural treasures. For the next few days, we encourage you to see it in person, to take its photo, to stand in its shadow. 🌱@portlandparks 🌲@outdoorhistory 📹@gregory_rutter
