National Tree Referendum Aims To Choose Symbol Of Americans
In a plan echoing past symbols, a national tree referendum is planned through January 1934 to pick a tree that best embodies the American spirit. Recent lists highlight historic trees and groves across the nation, from the Washington elm in Cambridge to Sequoia National Park's General Sherman Sequoia, with many tied to pivotal events and figures.
