The Urban Forestry Program
The Urban Forestry Program maintains the city's urban forest and is a great resource for Renton residents.
Public and private trees comprise Renton's urban forest, adding to the quality of life. In Renton, public trees include those found along street right of ways, in parks, natural areas, and at other city-owned properties.
Historical Tree Tour of Downtown Renton
The Urban Forestry Division has put together a walking tour of historical trees in downtown Renton. The tour takes about 90 minutes and includes 14 sites.
The story map provides details about the tree and the people, places, and activities from the past century at each location. In addition, you can view historical photos by swiping left from the initial tree pictures.
Urban Forest Management Plan
The division recently completed, and the city council adopted, the 2022-2032 Urban Forest Management Plan. The plan aims to ensure the safety, well-being, and economic future of Renton’s citizens and preserve the sustainability of the urban forest. The plan proposes steps to protect trees, forestry assets (which are actual city assets), and the health of Renton’s citizens through urban forestry services.
