Happy Friday, tree enthusiasts of Arizona! 

Arizona's Magnificent Tree Program recognizes those trees throughout our state that stand apart from the rest. The program helps connect us to trees, increases awareness of the field of forestry and urban forestry and encourages people to pay attention to trees as critical ecosystem species.

Twice a year, DFFM hosts a Magnificent Tree Measuring Workshop to invite tree lovers to learn how to measure trees so that they can nominate the magnificent trees they love in their communities!

Join us on Saturday, October 11th from 9am to 12pm at the Highlands Center for Natural History in Prescott to learn about what it means when a tree is designated a Champion, Heritage, or Witness Tree. You will gain hand-on practice using professional forestry tools to measure tree height, canopy, and trunk circumference.

This workshop is open to the public and requires pre-registration as space is limited. You can register here.
 
What to bring: Be prepared to spend time outside! Our learning space is indoors, but we will move outside to walk around the grounds and measure trees. Please wear layers, bring water, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and anything else you might need to remain comfortable during the hands-on portion of the morning.

Please see the attached flyer for further details, and share this opportunity widely with your networks!
