My Friend Hugh Danaher is building this website. It's like the Big Tree Register in a sense. But you can add your Biggest trees in your community, even if they are not state champs, more like City Champs. It is a good tool for recording your biggest species and understanding microclimates and good soil as indicators of good growth. It may be worthy of an ISA Gold Leaf Award.
Boy Scouts of America can get involved in this project as they may be our future stewarts of the Urban Forest.It's a good project for an Eagle Scout and we are going to meet with Troop 110 with a few weeks. I also added a little information about the nominator, it's a good way to get interagency connections and cooperation for tree planting projects. Even High School, College kids. Senior Citizens, Church groups could help. Either way it is a good resource tool.

If more Cities did this then the State Big Tree Register would have first hand knowledge of the Big Trees to drawl from each City and could be certified to do so. Tree City USA! Newark 20years Fremont 10years Union City 1 year.

Kind Regards
