Boyce Thompson Arboretum: MAGNIFICENT TREE WORKSHOP

While walking under the canopies of trees at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, have you ever stopped and wondered exactly how tall a tree is? BTA is a unique tree sanctuary and home to five Arizona and National Champion Trees, including our famous “Mr. Big,” a red gum eucalyptus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, which is the largest of its kind in the United States.

But what makes Mr. Big so special? If you’re curious about trees and their roles in the desert ecosystem, register for the Magnificent Tree Workshop on Saturday, February 18, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. BTA is proud to partner with the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (AZDFFM) to host this specialized workshop focusing on the Arizona Magnificent Trees Program which connects people to trees, increases awareness of the field of forestry, and encourages people to pay attention to trees as critical ecosystem species.

Led by LoriAnne Barnett Warren, Urban and Community Forestry Program Manager and ISA Certified Arborist with the AZDFFM, in this workshop, participants will learn about what it means when a tree is designated a Champion, Heritage, or Witness Tree and will gain hands-on practice using professional forestry tools to measure tree height, canopy, and trunk circumference. This 3-hour workshop is open to the public and requires pre-registration as space is limited. The cost of the workshop is $20 ($10 for BTA Members) and includes admission to the arboretum and all materials.
