To celebrate the 135th anniversary of the 1886 founding of Hyattsville, the Tree Board and City Council invite residents to identify trees on their property that were likely growing when Christopher Clark Hyatt began incorporating our city.
Citizens who have a Heritage Tree can apply to receive a commemorative plaque! Send an email to heritagetrees@hyattsville.org with your address, tree variety, and it's circumference. A member of the Tree Board will contact you to come verify the information. Submissions accepted until April 30, 2021.
