NOMINATE AS "NOTABLE" A TREE, OR GROUP OF TREES

Nominate as "Notable" trees that are important to you, perhaps for their beauty, serenity, species, rarity, tenacity, ecological value, associated events, comfort, even folklore. Trees associated with a person, celebration or other event are eligible. A few may also be nominated as Wisconsin Champion tree. Anyone can nominate a tree for consideration at any time. We will celebrate each on Arbor Day, held annually at the end of April.
