The PA Champion Tree Program is a program of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association (PFA).PFA is an entirely volunteer-run program.
For more than 50 years, conservationists associated with the Big Tree Program have been seeking out and documenting the grandest trees in Pennsylvania. They work diligently to preserve and promote these living icons and to educate people about the key role big trees play in sustaining our forests and our environment, according to the PFA website.
