The central Sierra Nevada region has many of the largest trees in the state. Bob Van Pelt of the University of Washington has spent many years compiling lists of the largest trees (for particular species) in the West, including many of the largest individual trees of various tree species in California. This summer, Bob will be visiting our local region to update and expand his inventory of the largest trees for most of the state's native species.
If you know of any of exceptionally large trees on the local forest that may be worth noting please contact us with any information that you have on the trees. Even if you think that a particular very large tree is already well documented and widely known, please take a minute to send a brief description of where it is located and anything you know about it to info@cserc.org.
