Nevada City is filled with beautiful trees and you can learn about them through the Nevada City Tree Tour, The App can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play.
The self-guided walking (or driving) tour of native and non-native trees in the downtown Nevada City area was originally prepared by horticulturist and tree care consultant Ellen Solomon in 2008, along with contributors Randall Frizzell, Roger McGehee and Chet Blackburn.
Patterned after tree guides of other communities, the City of Nevada City has painted sidewalk leaves to identify trees on the route, which are maintained by the Chamber of Commerce. (These are being updated in 2025.)
The production of the Nevada City Tree Tour has been supported by the Nevada County Arts Council and the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce.
