The Historic Tree Coalition is a local citizens’ group concerned with the identification, preservation, and public acknowledgment of historic trees in our area, including Indian marker trees. The group also participates in public education events, tours and guided nature walks.

Volunteers are always welcome! Ways to participate include working outside among the trees, doing research, studying maps, and helping with general organization and record keeping.
