The register behind the map
Retrieved October 6, 2026 · edition not stated
91 records are included in this imported selection. 91 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.
The official Vermont Big Tree List’s public data view, retrieved October 6, 2026, filtered to confirmed champions. Common and scientific names, measurements, data collection dates, and access labels are retained; excess whitespace is normalized. One record has no common name. Missing names and source discrepancies are identified in the details.
Vermont’s register marks 24 records publicly accessible and 67 with no public access. Visibility from a road does not grant entry. Only coordinates explicitly published for public trees are linked; private tree coordinates are not included. Town markers use representative points from the Census Bureau’s 2025 County Subdivisions Gazetteer.
The program’s September 2026 notice says activities are temporarily on hold following a staffing transition. This map preserves the published register as a dated snapshot; check the original program for updates.

A place to begin outdoors
Our available Vermont 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.
Forest walk · Gifford Woods State Park · Killington, Vermont
Use a stable place along the interpretive route, leaving room for others to pass. Notice a large trunk, the younger growth and the forest floor together. Remain on the path rather than walking around the roots to find a closer angle.
Arrival, access & practiceCampus visit · University of Vermont · Burlington, Vermont
Pause beside a campus path where you can see a branch comfortably, without blocking people moving across the Green.
Arrival, access & practiceCampus visit · Middlebury College · Middlebury, Vermont
Choose a stable viewpoint near a campus path with space to see the arching canopy. Keep entrances, athletic access, and walkways clear; use your usual seat or mobility supports.
Arrival, access & practicePark grounds · Marsh–Billings–Rockefeller National Historical Park · Woodstock, Vermont
