Do you know of a

GREAT Tree?

 

Is there a tree you treasure for its size, its historical importance within our community, or because of its rarity?

 

As part of our community's celebrations for the Forest Capital of Canada designation of 2008, the Norfolk Field Naturalists, working in partnership with the Norfolk Woodlot Owners Association and Norfolk County are challenging the residents of Norfolk to find these rare gems in our Carolinian Forest which hold a special significance or stature.

 

The Great Tree Hunt is being support by various partners including the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Southwestern Ontario Loggers Association.

 

The Great Tree Hunt awards will be presented to each nominee and owner of a Great Tree that has 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 than August 15 th , 2008.

EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 22nd!!

 

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!
