The Legacy Tree Program recognizes the role that trees, forestry and milling played in this area's early development, by designating trees that have unique value, because of age, size, or significant historical or social importance to the community. In this ongoing program, approved trees are recognized with a plaque, and the property owner receives a certificate attesting to the award.
Selected legacy trees have been listed on the Community and Culture Map.
