How to Nominate a Big Tree


We would like to record the 10 biggest trees of each species. People who want to update information on registered trees, or nominate new ones, must use the Big Tree Nomination Form and submit to the Ministry of Forests and Range, Research Branch.

In order to complete the application form you will need to recruit a B.C. Registered Professional Forester, Registered Professional Biologist, Forestry Technician or Registered Land Surveyor to ‘officially’ measure the nominee. These individuals can usually be found by contacting the local offices for: (a) Ministry of Forests; (b) Timber industry; (c) Ministry of Environment; or (e) universities or colleges.

If you need further help in locating someone to measure your tree, contact the Association of B.C. Professional Foresters at (604) 687-8027.
