One component of the contest is tree identification.
This portion of the contest will mostly consist of tree leaves
and twigs, but fruits, flowers
and questions about tree identification and uses may also be part
of the contest.
For easier
study, each tree species on this website
is coded for onlyone of four (4)
contest rotation years and only one of
eight (8) forest ecosystem types, even though many
species often can be found in more than one
ecosystem.
