| Welcome to the
Oregon Register of Big Trees! Within this site you will find a list of state and national champion trees located in the state of Oregon,
answers to frequently asked questions, instructions for nominating a Big Tree, and links
to related sites. This information may be accessed through the links at the top of
each page.
Trees contained in the Oregon Register of Big Trees have met the criteria for the National Register of Big Trees, established by American Forests.
American Forests has administered the National Register of Big Trees since 1940.
Oregon's history in the Big Tree Program isn't quite as clear, but information about the
program dates back into the 1950s. Perhaps the most notable event in Oregon's Big Tree
history was the Douglas-fir war between Oregon and Washington,
which began just after the Columbus Day Storm in 1962 and continued until ... well ... it
may not be over! But for the time being, Oregon's on top.
You may be interested in knowing the answers to some
frequently asked questions about Big Trees.

county -- any criteria that is available on the records.
