Many of these big trees go on to be champions in the American Forests\u2019 National Big Tree Program.<\/p>\n
New Mexico is one of the most ecologically varied states in the nation, encompassing five of the eleven USDA Zones. That means we have a varied population of tree species that compete well for national champion status. There are many different species in New Mexico that do not currently have a champion. View our New Mexico Big Tree List and start hunting today.<\/p>\n
