Boulevard of Champion Northern Michigan Trees Proposed
AP writer John Flesher reports on the Champion Tree Project International, an organization that seeks out the biggest and oldest trees and produces clones from their buds (about 125 species so far). The project now hopes to create a "Boulevard of Champions" of trees native to northern Michigan on a 2-mile stretch along Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City. The city is still considering the project.

Comments:
I see the champion poplar they refer to in this article every day (and worry it'll blow over and crush something). I think it'd be way cool to have a 2 mile stretch lined with the descendents of this tree and others.
