Idaho's Registry of Champion Big Trees 06.13.2019 Yvonne Barkley, Director Idaho Big Tree Program TEL: (208) 885-7718; Email: Extfor@Uidaho.Edu Idaho's Registry of Champion Big Trees 06.13.2019 Yvonne Barkley, Director Idaho Big Tree Program TEL: (208) 885-7718; Email: [email protected] The Idaho Big Tree Program is part of a national program to locate, measure, and recognize the largest individual tree of each species in Idaho. The nominator(s) and owner(s) are recognized with a certificate, and the owners are encouraged to help protect the tree. Most states, including Idaho, keep records of state champion trees and forward contenders to the national program. To search the National Registry of Champion Big Trees, go to http://www.americanforests.org/bigtrees/bigtrees- search/ The National Big Tree program defines trees as woody plants that have one erect perennial stem or trunk at least 9½ inches in circumference at DBH, with a definitively formed crown of foliage and at least 13 feet in height. There are more than 870 species and varieties eligible for the National Register of Big Trees. Hybrids, minor varieties, and cultivars are excluded from the National listing but all but cultivars are accepted for the Idaho listing. The currently accepted scientific and common names are from the USDA Plants Database (PLANTS) http://plants.usda.gov/java/ and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) http://www.itis.gov/ Champion trees status is awarded using a point system. To calculate a tree’s total point value, American Forests uses the following equation: Trunk circumference (inches) + height (feet) + ¼ average crown spread (feet) = total points. The registered champion tree is the one in the nation with the most points. The tree with the most total points is crowned national champion. When multiple candidates exist, the new “3 x 3” rule is employed, meaning co-champions are crowned using the following criteria: if the trees are under 100 points and within 3 points; if the trees have more than 100 points and the differential is 3 percent of the total. The final register is released each year in July. Champions listed in the National Registry must be re- measured every 10 years to maintain their National Big Tree Champion status. Idaho Champion trees will retain their status until another nomination topples the reigning champ or the reigning champ dies. Species that have BOTH Idaho AND National Champion status are in bold Non-native/Cultivated species in Idaho are indicated by GRAY shading 1 SCIENTIFIC NAME RECORD DBH CIRCUM. HEIGHT 1/4 AVE.

  • P L a N T L I S T Water-Wise Trees and Shrubs for the High Plains
    P L A N T L I S T Water-Wise Trees and Shrubs for the High Plains By Steve Scott, Cheyenne Botanic Gardens Horticulturist 03302004 © Cheyenne Botanic Gardens 2003 710 S. Lions Park Dr., Cheyenne WY, 82001 www.botanic.org The following is a list of suitable water-wise trees and shrubs that are suitable for water- wise landscaping also known as xeriscapes. Many of these plants may suffer if they are placed in areas receiving more than ¾ of an inch of water per week in summer. Even drought tolerant trees and shrubs are doomed to failure if grasses or weeds are growing directly under and around the plant, especially during the first few years. It is best to practice tillage, hoeing, hand pulling or an approved herbicide to kill all competing vegetation for the first five to eight years of establishment. Avoid sweetening the planting hole with manure or compost. If the soil is needs improvement, improve the whole area, not just the planting hole. Trees and shrubs generally do best well with no amendments. Many of the plants listed here are not available in department type stores. Your best bets for finding these plants will be in local nurseries- shop your hometown first! Take this list with you. Encourage nurseries and landscapers to carry these plants! For more information on any of these plants please contact the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens (307-637-6458), the Cheyenne Forestry Department (307-637-6428) or your favorite local nursery. CODE KEY- The code key below will assist you in selecting for appropriate characteristics.

  • Fishlake National Forest
    FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST RESPONSE TO COMMENTS for the FISHLAKE OHV ROUTE DESIGNATION PROJECT 12 October 2006 INTRODUCTION The forest incorporated existing comments from prior public participation processes during the pre- NEPA (NFMA) assessment. The following documents from these efforts are incorporated by reference: Public comments received for the 2001 OHV Event Environmental Assessment for the Rocky Mountain and Fillmore Jamborees. The assessment covered all of the Fishlake and portions of the Dixie and Manti-LaSal National Forests as well as Richfield BLM. OHV and travel management comments received by mail or at public meetings for Forest Plan revision efforts. Meeting notes and final presentations and reports from the Forest Plan revision Topical Working Groups (TWiGs) for OHVs, dispersed camping, and undeveloped area suitability. These records are included in the OHV project file and are incorporated by reference. The Notice of Intent (NOI) for the Fishlake OHV Route Designation Project was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2004. The NOI included a proposed action (Alternative 2) that designated routes and areas open to motorized use on the Fishlake National Forest. The effect of these designations is to close the forest to unrestricted motorized cross-country travel. The NOI asked for comments on the proposed action by July 30, 2004. Immediately prior to release of the NOI, the Forest Service briefed local governmental officials, motorized advocacy groups, businesses, and environmental groups. The project web site http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/fishlake/projects/ohv.shtml, press release, and postings at some trailheads were used to disseminate information and gather comments.

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.
