MARYLAND – Join the Hunt for Maryland’s Biggest Tree! Maryland has some big trees—some of them are the biggest of their species in the whole country.
In the latest registry of champion trees in the U.S., 16 trees in Maryland were the largest specimens of their kind, from a boxelder maple in Frederick County to an American elm in Baltimore County.
The ‘Big Tree Centennial Contest’ offers prizes for exploring Maryland’s State Forests. In partnership with the Maryland Forest Service, the Maryland Big Tree Program is encouraging the public to explore Maryland state forest and to report back on any trees larger than 15 feet in circumference.
Top prize for finding the biggest tree is $500. Link for more all information and rules found here: https://ow.ly/QbMb50XtqIP
