Friday at 5:00 p.m. is the deadline to enter the Roseburg Parks and Recreation 2025 Arbor Day Photo Contest.

A city release said there is still time left to grab a camera and explore the beauty of Roseburg’s tree – including the great variety found in city parks.

Roseburg Recreation Coordinator Tracy David said, “Spring is the perfect time to go tree hunting in Roseburg. The trees are blooming, everything’s turning green again, and it should make for some really interesting photos”. David said, “Since Roseburg is a designated Tree City USA, there are many to choose from”.

The top three photos will be announced and showcased on Arbor Day – on Friday, April 25th, on the Roseburg Parks and Recreation Facebook page. The winning photos will also be highlighted in the City Connection e-newsletter later this spring.

Anyone is eligible to submit one photo taken in the greater Roseburg area which depicts a tree or grove of trees. Be sure to include the photo location in the entry. Adobe Photoshop or other editing software cannot be used to alter the appearance or reality of the photo.
