504 records are included in this imported selection. 504 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

Connecticut’s Notable Trees, hosted by Connecticut College and supported by the Connecticut College Arboretum, Connecticut Botanical Society, and Connecticut Urban Forest Council. Retrieved October 6, 2026. The common-name and scientific-name champion lists are matched by Tree ID and checked against individual records. Only explicit Connecticut champion and co-champion designations are included: 400 champions and 104 co-champions. The register includes species, hybrids, and cultivated varieties; multiple designated trees remain separate.

Original names, measurements, points, measurement dates, named-tree labels, and published addresses are retained with whitespace normalized. Cards use the individual record’s common name; alternate names from the alphabetized list appear in searchable source notes. Each card links to its original record for photographs, directions, and additional context. Published locations do not establish public access, and no access permission is inferred. Locations withheld by the program remain undisclosed. Map markers are approximate municipality points.

The 97 Connecticut town points come from the Census Bureau’s 2025 County Subdivisions Gazetteer. The county filter is expanded to “County or planning region” because current Census geography uses Connecticut’s nine planning regions as county equivalents. These region names are added from Census geography, not from the tree register.

From a record to a relationship

Get to know the trees.

These Library species appear in Connecticut’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.

A place to begin outdoors

Plan a thoughtful visit.

Our available Connecticut guides pair arrival and access information with a practice. A guide may feature an ordinary tree, a forest, or a champion; its inclusion here does not give it a champion title. Check current site guidance before travelling.
