12th BIG TREE HUNT CONTEST 2011-2012

From "Global ReLeaf of Michigan" . . .

With the trees changing colors soon it is a great time to get outdoors and search for Big Trees in Michigan through the Michigan Big Tree Hunt Contest.

It's a two year contest where people of all ages can search for large trees and perhaps win the contest or find a tree that could become a state or national champion.  The contest entries must be submitted by  August 1, 2012.

The contest recognizes the winners of the largest tree entered overall in the state, the largest White Pine (Michigan's state tree) the largest tree entered by a youth (15 years and younger) and the largest tree entered per county.  Winners receive a certificate and gift at a ceremony held in September 2012 where we honor the recipients. 

The Michigan Big Tree Hunt Contest is sponsored by ReLeaf Michigan, Michigan Botanical Foundation, Michigan Botanical Club, Hanes Fund, Lapham Associates, Arboriculture Society of Michigan,  DTE Energy Foundation, Consumers Energy, and Michigan Department of Natural Resources & Environment.

Please call 1-800-642-7353 or email globalreleafmi@aol.com for an entry form.
