PLAY Roanoke is celebrating Arbor Day the whole month of April, 2023. Our Urban Forestry section will be tagging trees across the city with educational information about their tangible value to the City of Roanoke.
Use the map to locate all the trees we tagged in Roanoke. We’ll add more each week in the lead up to Arbor Day on April 28. Learn more and view additional info below (Tree numbers below correspond to their Object ID on the map).

Information was calculated using the National Tree Benefit Calculator available through the Arbor Day Foundation.
