Nominate your Favorite Tree

Do you have a favorite tree? Maybe it's the biggest tree you've ever seen...or the biggest tree in your yard. Maybe it's shaped funny, or growing in a really weird place. Maybe it's the best climbing tree! Maybe you encountered a tree that has the sweetest flowers you've ever smelled. Maybe you got married under that tree. Share your favorite tree with the Amazing Trees project and help create the story of our wonderful trees! Nominate your tree! Here's how:

Step 1: Contact Us

Contact an Amazing Tree Junkie:
Email Dede Smith or phone 434-296-0074
Email Devin Floyd or phone 434-296-6457

In that contact include the following:
Do you want to share the location of your Amazing tree?
What makes this tree Amazing to you?
What type of tree is it? (if you do not know, we can help with that)
May we meet you at the location of the tree for a closer look?

Step 2: Information about the tree

After initial contact, we will give you a short form to fill out. It will encourage basic observations like measurements and tree ID. We will encourage you to describe the tree, draw or photograph it, or contribute other types of information about the tree. We give you access to resources and expertise if you need or want it!

Step 3: Advisory

The Information is reviewed.
If changes or additional content is needed, we will notify you.
