Descendants of historic trees.(programs conducted by American Forests (Washington, D.C.))(Organization overview)
Many communities in the United States venerate their oldest or largest trees, often identifying them with a descriptive marker. On a national level this is a preoccupation of American Forests, founded in 1875 and one of the oldest nonprofit conservation groups in the country. The organization sponsors numerous worthy programs: from tree planting and urban forestry to environmental education and community-based forestry. It maintains a list of the largest known specimens of more than eight hundred species of trees that grow here, and like the National Register of Historic Places, which designates noteworthy buildings and towns, American Forests has maintained a National Register of Historic Trees since 1917. It now numbers more than two thousand examples. The organization responds to crises that affect trees and forests and is currently leading a campaign to replant the thousands of trees lost in Hurricane Katrina.
