What is a Notable Tree?
(Source: Guidelines for Nominating a Notable Tree for Evaluation)
Practically all trees play important economic, environmental and social roles in any district of New Zealand. However, some trees are often thought of as being of greater value than others. That is, there are some specimen trees, or groups of trees, that stand out as being notable, significant or distinguished. It is those trees that, for various reasons, are selected by local authorities throughout New Zealand for inclusion on a notable tree schedule in a district plan. Through this mechanism they gain greater legal protection. Notable trees are generally those that a community or nation regards as being of special importance because they commemorate important events in a nation’s history, are exceptional or unique examples of a species, are critical to the survival of other species, or are of such age, stature, character and visibility that they are regarded as the best in the district.
