The register behind the map
Dates, sources & coverage.
UAF historical account · first published 2003 · republished 2010 · limited coverage
1 records are included in this imported selection. 1 have approximate map points; 0 remain searchable without a marker. Multiple trees can share one town or county point.
Register editions, retrieval dates, and individual measurement dates describe different things. This snapshot does not confirm current tree condition. Approximate map points do not locate individual trees or establish permission to visit.
How this register was selected and mapped
One historical Black Spruce on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, explicitly described by UAF as an Alaska state champion. This is limited historical coverage, not a complete Alaska register.
The account first appeared in 2003 and was republished August 19, 2010. Neither date is treated as a measurement date. Its 71-foot height and 45-inch circumference are preserved; crown spread and points are unknown.
The National Champion Tree Program lists Alaska’s state program as on hiatus. Present condition, current champion standing and visiting permission are unverified. No public visit guide is implied by the campus location.
The map uses the Census 2025 representative point for Fairbanks city (GEOID 0224230). It represents an approximate city location, not the individual tree. The record ID is an internal project identifier.

From a record to a relationship
Get to know the trees.
These Library species appear in Alaska’s imported register. Explore identification, seasonal observations, and a practice beside a tree. Photographs are species references taken elsewhere. Matches use scientific names without regard to capitalization; botanical synonyms remain separate.
No matching Library profiles are available yet. You can still practice beside an ordinary tree nearby.
