NH Big Tree Program How does it work? Nominations Measurements Database White ash

NH Big Tree Program Nominations Anyone can nominate a big tree Identify the species of tree as best you can. Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of the trunk in inches at 4 1/2 feet off the ground. Compare your circumference measurement to the same species of tree in the NH Big Tree Listings. If the circumference of the tree you measured exceeds or is close in size to a tree of the same species on the listing, click here. click here Honeylocust
