SUBJECT:
The Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) has identified as Heritage
Tree Preservation Program as part of their work plan. The goal of HPAB with
the heritage tree program is to expand upon the definition of historic
preservation beyond just the built environment which could include trees
and cultural landscapes. A heritage tree is a tree that has historical, cultural,
biological, or ecological significance because of its age, size, or condition.
There have been conservations with the Forestry Division as well as Branch
Out Bozeman on what a heritage tree program could look like and how it
could be implemented. Sarah Rosenberg, Historic Preservation Officer with
the City of Bozeman will give the Urban Parks and Forestry Board an
overview of the work done, goals of the board, and possible next steps.
