Utah Heritage Trees

Not every monument is stone. This marker, placed by students of the nearby junior high in 1994, honors a stand of Austrian pines under Utah's Heritage Trees program — the state's effort to name and protect trees of unusual age, size, or history, the living landmarks that outlast the people who plant them. Trees like these tell a quieter Utah story: the Lombardy poplars the Mormons lined along their streets and canals, the windbreaks and shade of a settled valley. The program keeps a register of them statewide, and this Holladay grove earned its place on it.
