This dataset documents the location of historic and old growth trees throughout the Washington State Parks system. The historic trees of Washington State Parks are some of the most valuable and impressive resources within the State of Washington. Historic trees are at least 50 years of age and older, and are associated with some culturally significant historic value, such as plantings near former homesteads or other developed landscapes. The old growth trees found in this dataset are strictly remnant and legacy old-growth trees that exist in WA State Parks campgrounds and developed areas so that parks staff and park planners know they exist and have some knowledge of their condition.To download this and other data from Washington State Parks, go to geo.wa.gov and search for "wsprc" (Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission).AttributesObserverName of observer/person entering the data point.DateDate that data point was recorded.ParkName of the park that data point was collected at.
