A New State Champion Tree!

I am delighted to report that Hartford now has a tree on the list of Vermont State Champion trees.  It is a Paper Birch, growing beside one of our trails. I nominated the tree after Matt Dragon's students in the Natural Resources Program at the Hartford Area Career & Technical Center helped me to measure its height, crown spread, and trunk circumference.  This past Saturday, Gwen Kozlowski of the VT Urban & Community Forestry Program visited the tree, took official measurements, and added the tree to the list of state champions, with a total of 154.63 Big Tree Points (height + circumference + 1/4 crown spread).

I encourage everyone to visit the tree. I put a celebratory blue ribbon around the trunk today.  See the map below, and also this link to the entry at the Vermont Big Tree program: Vermont Big Trees (arcgis.com)
