Magnificent Tree Workshop

Arizona's Magnificent Tree Program recognizes those trees throughout our state that stand apart from the rest! The program helps connect us to trees, increases awareness of the field of forestry and urban forestry and encourages people to pay attention to trees as critical ecosystem species. 

Twice a year, the State Forestry's Urban and Community Forest Program hosts a Magnificent Tree Measuring Workshop to invite tree lovers to learn how to measure trees so that they can nominate the magnificent trees they love in their communities! This Spring the workshop will be held on the UA Campus. 

Join us on 

Saturday, May 10th from 8am to 10:30am 

at the ENR2 Building on the University of Arizona campus to learn about what it means when a tree is designated a Champion, Heritage, or Witness Tree. You will gain hand-on practice using professional forestry tools to measure tree height, canopy, and trunk circumference. This workshop is open to the public and requires pre-registration as space is limited.

You can register here.

What to bring: Be prepared for warm weather! Our learning space is indoors, but we will move outside to walk around and measure trees that are part of the Campus Arboretum. Please bring water, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and anything else you might need to remain comfortable during the hands-on portion of the morning.
