UCFC Big Tree Directory · retrieved October 11, 2026 · individual measurement years

248 records are included in this imported selection. 225 have approximate map points; 23 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

Utah Community Forest Council’s Big Tree Directory, linked by Utah’s Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, was retrieved October 11, 2026. All nine directory pages contain 250 distinct tree IDs. This selection includes 248 entries explicitly marked State Champ Status: 1. Russian olive ID 313 (status 0) and western chokecherry ID 95 (status 2) are excluded; no champion designation is inferred for those codes.

Multiple state-designated records of a species are retained rather than choosing the largest score. Three records explicitly described as co-champions in special notes retain that description. Ten national-champion flags are preserved as Utah directory labels, without independently claiming current national standing. Names, measurements, published scores and individual measurement years remain as published. Entry/update dates are separate from measurement years.

225 records use approximate points for 43 Census places; 23 records have no unambiguous place match and remain searchable without markers. Forests, counties, ambiguous Salt Lake labels and the misspelled Milcreek are not assigned inferred city locations. Census contains both Enterprise city and Enterprise CDP; the unspecified Enterprise record is not mapped. Provo - Brigham Young University and Ogden, Utah use their explicitly named cities.

The directory explicitly labels 159 included records as publicly accessible and 89 as having no public access, using Yes/Y and No/N. These labels are retained; current visiting arrangements should be confirmed with the program or site. Markers represent approximate Census places, not individual trees. Personal owner/nominator/measurer fields, street addresses, photographs, individual coordinates and location directions in special notes are omitted.

From a record to a relationship

Get to know the trees.

These Library species appear in Utah’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.
