The Parks and Recreation Department manages the city's urban forest made up of more than 7,000 trees in parks and along streets on Snoqualmie Ridge alone. They represent a major asset for current and future generations. 

Trees provide many benefits to individual citizens and the community, including aiding in air quality, preventing erosion and improving the aesthetics of the community. To find the benefit of a specific tree, test the tree benefit calculator.

To assist in the proper management of the urban forest in Snoqualmie and create more citizen awareness of the value of trees in an urban environment, the City Council adopted a public tree ordinance on January 8th, 2010. The ordinance includes a landmark tree program to recognize trees of significance in the community.
