Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District needs people’s help tracking down the most impressive trees that Oxford County has to offer.
The district keeps a register of big trees in the county, which catalogs the largest specimen of each native species found.
There are 21 species to be nominated, many of which are smaller species of trees that may be found in wet areas, along streams and ponds.
Nominators of winning trees will receive a copy of “Forest Trees of Maine, Centennial Edition 1908-2008.” Nominations will be accepted until Oct. 1.
To learn more and nominate a tree, visit oxfordcountyswcd.org/oxford-register-of-big-trees.
