Test Your Tree Trivia IQ in Celebration of Lake Oswego’s Arbor Week

This Sugar Maple at the intersection of Third and C Avenue was dedicated as a Heritage Tree in 1998.

The City of Lake Oswego is getting a head start on celebrating National Arbor Day, April 24, with a lineup of festivities beginning this week.

It’s no wonder. Trees are a big deal here in Lake Oswego, where citizens are proud of their urban forest and the city government has put ordinances in place to protect it.

You can find a full schedule of activities online. They include:

Here it is in the fall.

a Heritage Tree dedication on April 7 in the Forest Highlands neighborhood
Heritage Tree walk on April 8 at Luscher Farm
Tree planting and poetry reading on April 9 at Lake Oswego’s newest park on Sunningdale Road
Arbor week crafts project at the Lake Oswego library on April 11
Stewardship opportunities with Friends of Southwood Park, Friends of Iron Mountain, Glenmorrie Neighors and Friends of Springbrook Park.
