We need your help in locating, documenting, and preserving outstanding trees in Maryland. If you know of a potential Champion Tree, please bring it to our attention by completing out a nomination and permission form.
-
Nominate via sending a copy of the filled out forms via email to mdbigtreeprogram@aol.com.
-
Nominate via USPS by sending copies of the Nomination Form and Permission Form to PO Box 328, North East, MD 21901
Helpful Tips to Filling Out the Nomination Form
-
Any tree can be nominated whether you own it or not, or if it is on public lands.
-
Please include tree address and your mailing address.
-
If using a corporate or family name, please indicate that name.
-
Provide some idea of the location of the tree. GPS is helpful but not required.
-
It is helpful if you can include a circumference measurement at 4’ 6” above the ground. This is not required. Use best guess for height and spread or leave blank the measuring data.
-
If possible, remove any undergrowth which will help us get better access to the trunk for circumference measuring.
For questions about either the Nomination or the Permission form contact us at mdbigtreeprogram@aol.com.
