The Peachtree Corners Green Committee is challenging residents to identify the biggest tree in the city. In support of the city’s Arbor Day celebration, the contest is aimed at identifying the largest trees.

Winners will receive a free dinner for two at one of the new restaurants in Town Center.

To participate, simply measure the diameter of your tree four feet off the ground and send a photo of yourself with the tree to jhoward@peachtreecornersga.gov. Include the diameter of the tree, and the words “Big Tree Hunter” in the subject line. Deadline is 5 p.m. March 29.

A winning tree will be announced at the city’s annual Arbor Day event at 11 a.m. April 26, at Paul Duke High School, 5850 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. A tree planting will be part of the event.

Peachtree Corners was recognized for the fourth year in a row as one of the state’s “Tree City USA” communities for its commitment to caring for and managing its public trees.
