How to Nominate a Big Tree

The CDC 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 (PDF 928KB) and submit to the B.C. Conservation Data Centre.

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) Timber industry; (b) Ministry of Forests; (c) Ministry of Environment; (d) 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.
