| Champion Trees Booklet Now Available |
| The latest edition of Rhode Island Champion Trees was recently published by RITree. This 46 page booklet, years in the making, is a magnificent piece of work, showcasing a wealth of interesting articles, facts and figures on the biggest trees of their kind in Rhode Island. There’s a truly special article on big tree hunters, “Past and Current Tree Pioneers”, and another titled, “Farewell Sylvan Giants”, which details the last years of life of four venerable champions, and many more. The booklet also contains 35 colored pictures of some of the biggest, rarest and most historic trees in Rhode Island. But the highlight of this publication is the 123 current champion trees themselves. They are catalogued by name, location, size and total points in an 8 page section of the book. The Rhode Island Champion Trees can be obtained by making a minimum donation of $15.00 to RITree’s Champion Tree Fund. (Include $3 for shipping and handling). |
