Eastern
Native Tree Society
The Eastern Native Tree
Society (ENTS) is a cyberspace interest group devoted
to the celebration of trees and forests of the eastern North
America and around the world, through art, poetry, music, mythology,
science, medicine, wood crafts, and collecting research data for a variety of purposes. ENTS is the premiere tree measuring group of the eastern forest. ENTS is a discussion forum for people who view trees and forests not just as a crop to be harvested, but also as something of value in their own right.

The Eastern Native Tree Society has
been established to accurately measure and record the
tallest trees, historical trees, and ancient forests.
Eastern North America has been graced with forests
of fantastic beauty and diversity. These forests have
been heavily impacted by development, disease and
human utilization. This unfortunate history has
diverted our attention from the remarkably huge and
ancient forests which have survived this catastrophe.
Even today we are finding the largest and oldest trees
ever recorded for some native species. The tallest
white pine ever accurately recorded was recently documented in
the Cataloochee district of Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. The oldest trees ever
recorded in eastern North America have been recently
discovered along the Black River, in eastern North
Carolina. ENTS is also
intended as an archive for information on specific
trees and stands of trees. ENTS will store data on
accurately measured trees for historical documentation
purposes, scientific research, and to resolve big tree
disputes.
