The Peachtree Corners Green Committee extended a challenge to residents to identify the biggest tree in the city. It’s not limited to specific varieties of trees. The contest is aimed at identifying the largest trees and is part of the city’s celebration of Arbor Day.
Winners will receive a free dinner for two at the new Town Center, at a restaurant to be determined.
To submit a tree for consideration, please measure the diameter of the tree four feet off the ground and send a photo of yourself with the tree to jhoward@peachtreecornersga.gov. Please include the diameter of the tree, and the words “Big Tree Hunter” in the subject area.
Deadline for submission is 5 p.m. March 29, 2019.
A winner will be announced at the annual Arbor Day event at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 26, at Paul Duke High School, where there will be a tree planting event.
Peachtree Corners was recognized as one of the state’s “Tree City USA” communities for its commitment to caring for and managing its public trees. This is the city’s fourth year in a row to receive the designation.
Tree City USA
provides the framework for community forestry management for cities and towns
across America that meet requirements including the establishment of a tree
board or department, establishment of a community tree ordinance, meeting

Celebration.
