Experience Portland at its best
Travel to beautiful Portland, Oregon, visit some special trees, and then get a treat nearby!
Here in PDX, we are blessed to have some of the biggest and most beautiful trees of any city on earth. Why? Two reasons:
1. Portlanders love and respect trees.
2. Portland’s Heritage Tree program has successfully preserved scores of giant trees that would have been cut down in most other cities.
This guidebook will show you exactly where to find Portland’s most outstanding trees, explain what makes them interesting and special, and teach you how to identify the tree species. You'll also discover cool non-tree destinations in each neighborhood so that after visiting each tree, you can grab a drink, a bite to eat, and explore one of America’s most fascinating, greenest cities. Visitors and locals alike will experience the city, its nature, and its communities in a hyper-local, wonderful way.
