Announcements

On May 20, 2024, the Bellingham City Council enacted an Emergency Landmark Tree Ordinance, an interim measure to prevent the removal of exceptional trees in anticipation of new regulations, This ordinance took effect immediately: it protects what are considered to be “landmark trees” – the largest, most significant trees in Bellingham. It establishes a landmark tree inventory; a permitting process for their removal; and establishes a larger fine for illegal removal. Any healthy tree 36" or greater in diameter is automatically included in the landmark tree inventory, with the exception of black cottonwoods, which are automatically excluded. If you know of a tree that meets these criteria, click on the link above to learn how to nominate it for inclusion in landmark tree inventory.
