The
Great Tree Hunt awards will
be presented to each nominee and owner

achieved the distinction of being
the greatest tree of that species.
The Great Tree Hunt awards
will be presented at the Norfolk Woodlot
Owners association Annual General
meeting on February 4th, 2009 at the
Delhi German Home.
All
nominations must be submitted no later

The
Great Tree Hunt is a commitment
to our natural community treasures
found amongst our Carolinian Forests
and greenspaces. Many Norfolk County
trees deserve recognition for their
great beauty, their ecological and
economic importance, and their place
in history.
So
let the challenge begin – over the
summer take to the woods with your
family and find your GREAT TREE!
