The Great Tree Hunt Contest sponsored by People for Trees, Inc.
People for Trees, Inc. invites everyone to celebrate Florida Arbor Day, January 16, by taking part in "The Great Tree Hunt Contest". North Port has some great trees and some trees with great stories.
People for Trees, Inc., a native tree canopy advocacy group since 1997, has identified five of these trees. Do you think YOU can find them? Look carefully at the photos and read the clues for some help! Identify the location for each tree( i.e. street number or nearby building/business) and send with your name, address, and phone number to:
"The Great Tree Hunt Contest"
People for Trees, Inc.
3597 Froude St.
North Port, 34286

Three winners will be chosen at random from correct entries and receive $100/$75/$50 respectively. Everyone who submits a correct entry will receive a 3-gallon native tree (or have its value donated towards planting a tree in a park or school). Photos can also be viewed at the North Port Public Library.

Cranberry Oak: Located on Cranberry Blvd., this magnificent oak cannot be overlooked. The current owner said the tree was a major factor in her decision to buy the house.

Requiem for a tree: This Longleaf Pine was slated to be removed when the site was being developed. People for Trees, Inc. staged a “Requiem for a Tree” to bring attention to its plight. The tree proudly stands tall today and overlooks busy 41, providing some relief from the asphalt and concrete.

Sign hiding oak: This beautiful oak is estimated to be over 100 years old. It provides the only shaded portion of the sidewalk along this portion of Hwy.41 yet storeowners have blamed it for their poor sales and have called for its removal.

Salford Pine: A beautifully shaped Longleaf Pine located along Salford Blvd. The tree was only as tall as the house when it was built almost 20 years ago.

Vertical Pine: A Heritage Longleaf Pine whose circumference measures 90 inches. Located along Sumter Blvd., the tree’s canopy was cut vertically in half to make way for power lines. A good case for underground power lines.
