The register behind the map

Dates, sources & coverage.

March 24, 2026 edition

155 records are included in this imported selection. 155 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

The Rhode Island Tree Council’s Helen Walker Raleigh Champion Trees Program register, retrieved October 6, 2026. All 155 usable entries marked rank 1 are included, including multiple entries for a species. Names, addresses, measurements, and published scores are preserved with whitespace normalized. The page’s older gallery count differs from the dated table used here. Measurement dates are not provided.

The table’s final Zelkova row contains numbers in the species, common-name, town, and address columns. That malformed row is excluded until its identity and location can be confirmed. No replacement record is invented.

From a record to a relationship

Get to know the trees.

These Library species appear in Rhode Island’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 Rhode Island 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.
