BIG TREE REGISTER AVAILABLE ONLINE
Site allows you to search for the largest trees and nominate your own
Tree aficionados have a new online resource where they can learn about the biggest trees in West Virginia. The Division of Forestry and Department of Commerce have created www.wvcommerce.org/BigTrees, a site that includes database listings of the largest trees in the state, an ever-growing photo gallery of big trees and a nomination form for those who think their tree may be larger than the current state champion.
“This site is just one part of the ongoing effort to locate, measure and record the largest trees in the state,” said Assistant State Forester Bob Radspinner, who oversees the program. “Forty-two of our counties are represented on the register, and we hope to inspire West Virginians to hunt for more Big Trees to add to the list.”
For those folks who think their tree is larger than the ones on the register, nominations will be accepted through the site. Nominators must submit measurements of the tree’s circumference, total height and crown spread, along with the tree’s location and other pertinent information.
Big Trees must be verified by West Virginia Division of Forestry officials before they can be included on the register. Log on to www.wvcommerce.org/BigTrees to learn more about the nomination process and how to correctly measure your tree.
