The Wisconsin DNR maintains records on the largest trees in the state. We call them champion trees . The champion tree records are a result of the work of many people such as yourself. Many of the records, however, are quite old and out of date.
Some records are incomplete.
Some trees listed may now be gone or have lost branches and leaders, so they may no longer be champions. Email your updates to Dick Rideout . You can also nominate a new champion tree . The DNR keeps big tree records to encourage the appreciation of Wisconsin's forest and trees. Hunting for the big ones can put you in touch with our natural resources heritage.
