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, we host 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!
Join us on Saturday, February 24th from 9am to 12pm at beautiful Boyce Thompson Arboretum (37615 E Arboretum Way, Superior, AZ 85173) 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 at this link: https://7830.blackbaudhosting.com/7830/Magnificent-Tree-Workshop-2024
Please see the attached flyer for more details. Feel free to share out with your network! We hope to see you there.
Best,
