On March 14, 2010 the Eastern Native Tree Society and Western Native Tree Society switched from discussion lists on Google Groups to a new discussion list in a Bulletin Board format at: http://www.ents-bbs.org/index.php  Posts made since the inception of the BBS on March 14, 2010 will be sorted and archived on the BBS. Click on the link to go to the equivalent section on the new BBS. This website will continue to serve as a front end for the ENTS and WNTS groups. It will continue to serve as a repository of older posts, and will serve as the host site for special projects and features that are not well suited for a BBS format. Please visit the BBS for the latest information and trip reports.

  • Pennsylvania Big Tree Project http://www.pabigtrees.com What literally covers the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from A to Z? Trees! Trees of all kinds--from Ailanthus to Zelkova. Some of these trees, the largest of each species, are found here recorded on this website. In conjunction with the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, this information is provided by Scott Wade. Scott is currently the Pennsylvania state coordinator for American Forests, and the newly elected chairperson of the Pennsylvania Big Tree Committee. Using the last published record of champion trees from 1993, We have updated those trees that we have visited and remeasured. We have also "found" many new trees to add to the list. Many volunteers and organizations have helped in this project, but the more the merrier.
