| In
1997 the Arkansas Famous and Historic Tree
Program (AFHTP) was established to create a
greater awareness and appreciation for
historic trees in Arkansas. The AFHTP has
two goals: education and preservation. Trees
may be nominated to the program by anyone
with permission from the property owner. A
committee of landscape, forestry and
historic preservation specialists
evaluate the nomination to determine whether
trees are eligible to be listed with the
AFHTP.
The AFHTP
makes information about the famous and
historic trees in the program available to
the public. Historic trees on public land
may be visited throughout Arkansas. However,
information about historic trees on private
property is restricted to respect their
privacy. General information about each tree
and where it is located can be found by
going to the Famous and Historic Trees
section at the left.
