Parker’s Landing tulip tree selected for ‘heritage’ status

The Washington State University Master Gardener Program has selected a tulip tree at Washougal’s Parker’s Landing Historical Park to join its Clark County Heritage Tree program, which recognizes “trees of significance” in unincorporated Clark County.

 The 107-foot tree grows 2 to 3 feet annually near the location of the historic Van Vleet home, now the Van Vleet Plaza. Parkersville National Historic Site Advisory Committee members estimate that it was planted in the 1950s.
