Big Trees of Mainepresented by Jan Ames Santerre
Maine’s Big Tree program was started in 1968 and continues in popularity today. Big Trees capture people’s imaginations through their size, beauty, and the stories that they tell. Project Canopy director, Jan Santerre, will deliver a photographic slide program while telling the stories of the trees and the people who care for them. The program will feature the most impressive trees the state has to offer.
Jan is the Project Canopy Director for the Maine Forest Service (MFS), where she focuses on all aspects of program management. Project Canopy is a federally funded program in support of urban forestry programming in Maine’s municipalities. She works with cities and towns statewide, providing grant funds to support street and shade tree planting and assistance and training in various topics related to shade tree management and forestry in general to municipal staff, commissions and volunteers. Additionally, Jan manages the state big tree registry, the Tree City USA program in Maine, the Community Forest and Open Space land acquisition program, as well as several other department initiatives related to urban and community forest health. Jan is a native of Dover-Foxcroft, and has a BS in Forestry from the University of Vermont.
