Neither Tulsa County nor City of Tulsa has a heritage or landmark tree program. Oklahoma has no state heritage tree law. Notable trees may be voluntarily registered with Oklahoma Forestry Services but carry no legal protection.
Tulsa County does not designate heritage, landmark, or specimen trees with legal protection. The City of Tulsa's tree ordinance (TRO Title 33) covers street trees and right-of-way trees but does not create a protected heritage tree category for private property. Oklahoma Forestry Services (under Oklahoma Dept. of Agriculture, Food and Forestry) maintains a voluntary Champion Tree Registry for the largest specimens of each species, but registration is informational only and provides no legal restriction on removal by private owners. Tulsa's Up With Trees nonprofit advocates for urban canopy preservation but has no regulatory authority. Large oaks, pecans, and cottonwoods common to Tulsa County enjoy no special statutory protection beyond general zoning/permit rules.
No heritage-tree-specific penalties exist. Damaging a tree in City of Tulsa right-of-way still subject to TRO § 33-306 fines $250-$1,000 plus replacement cost. Destruction of a neighbor's tree may trigger 21 OS § 1768 trespass damage and treble damages under 23 OS § 72.
