Attention All Marshfield Citizens! The Marshfield Tree City Advisory Committee is on the hunt for the largest tree in town. Do you have a large tree? Join us in a scavenger hunt to celebrate Arbor Day 2021. Competition details are below.
• Competition is for the biggest tree in the City of Marshfield regardless of species.
• Trees must be on private property inside City Limits of Marshfield.
• Nominators are to utilize the measuring rules of the Missouri Champion Tree program in this pamphlet by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC):https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/downloads/mostchamptrees_2015_app.pdf
(Nominators must measure the trees themselves or with help of friends.)
• If a nominator is unsure of species, best guess is fine.
• Nominators will fill out the appropriate fields on the form in the MDC Champion Tree pamphlet and submit to the City Parks office email at [email protected] or mail to Parks at 798 S. Marshall St. Marshfield, MO 65706 by end of business on March 31, 2021. All mailed nominations must be postmarked by March 29, 2021.
• The Marshfield Tree City Committee will review nominations to determine the biggest tree in Marshfield following the guidelines from the Missouri Champion Tree program.
• The five trees with the largest point score will be measured by the Tree City Committee or designee(s) and points for those five trees recalculated.
• The tree with the largest number of points of the five trees remeasured will be named the Biggest Tree in Marshfield.
