40 champs among 733 on National Register of Big Trees
Georgia’s national champion Village Sentinel live oak stands alone at the pinnacle of its species in the 2008-2009 National Register of Big Trees after besting a Louisiana co-champ that had reigned since 1976. Georgia has 40 titleholders among the 733 trees crowned as national champions in the 2008-2009 National Register of Big Trees.
The biennial listing of the largest known trees of 826 species is maintained by American Forests, the nation’s oldest conservation group, and sponsored by The Davey Tree Expert Company.
