Lindsay Lights, chair of the Big Tree Hunt, joins Emma Wiermann to discuss the event.

This summer, Michiganders are invited to join the adventure of searching for the biggest trees in the state! ReLeaf Michigan’s Big Tree Hunt is a free, family-friendly contest that encourages getting outdoors and appreciating the incredibly large trees around us every day. The contest's deadline is August 22, 2025, making now an ideal time to go hunting for big trees! The 16th biennial Big Tree Hunt is more than a fun
outdoor challenge; it's a way for Michiganders to help document, honor, and highlight the state’s most impressive trees.
