    Tree Tours

    As part of Bellevue’s Neighborhood Tree Ambassador program, community members volunteer to create walking tours of the trees in their neighborhoods. Take a tour to enjoy the fresh air, learn about some of our area’s fascinating trees, and deepen your connection with your neighborhood!

    In some cases, tree ambassadors will lead tree tours. If any are scheduled, they will be listed here. At any time, you can take one of the self-guided tours, which feature a map of the route, with photographs and descriptions of trees and landmarks. 

    If you have questions or would like to share feedback, please email trees@bellevuewa.gov.
