The Village of Cold Spring's
GRAND TREE CONTEST
AN ANNUAL VILLAGE-WIDE CELEBRATION OF OUR COMMUNITY FOREST
The Grand Tree Contest, in it's inaugural year this year, is a village-wide celebration of the wonderful trees that make up our community forest here in Cold Spring. The contest will showcase notable trees around the village nominated by villagers like you! Be it the oldest, the largest, the most persevering, most memorable or the most quirky tree in the village, we want to make note and showcase the historical, cultural and ecological significance of these wonderful community treasures. The contest is inspired by Mike Turton's reporting on favorite trees in The Highlands Current and is administered by the village's Tree Advisory Board, an all-volunteer group of village residents that includes certified arborists as well as landscape and horticultural professionals. Winners will receive a framed award.
