Fall 2017 MBTP Report
MARYLAND CONTINUES TO HAVE THE LARGEST ON-LINE BIG TREE DATABASE IN THE WORLD BY FAR!!!
Website: No issues in 2017. We continue to explore options to upgrade the website.
Reminders:
**Reminder, signed permission forms are required for private property. This includes churches, graveyards, museums, home owner associations, and businesses. We recommend you carry copies of the generic nomination form and permission form with you whenever you go out to measure.
**Reminder, please download the Nomination and Permission forms from the website rather than asking me to mail them. This saves time and money.
**Reminder, we do have a 70% minimum standard (60% if the tree will be a county champion). Please check the website to see if the tree you are measuring will qualify before you measure the entire tree. Comparing just the circumference gives you a pretty good idea if the tree will qualify.
