Also, does the list change a lot? If you have a previous list, then over the summer you could study most of the IDs, assuming they won't change much.
I'm pretty sure there are questions about trees in general. (as with the other ID events like ornithology and fossils).

So since there's a whole list of trees you need to know and various other information, is it safe to say that a binder will be allowed?

No. If there wasn't a binder for birds, there probably won't be one for trees.
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

You can always write info in the field guide.

No. If there wasn't a binder for birds, there probably won't be one for trees.
Don't rule it out though, there was a binder allowed last time I did this event 6 years ago. It's possible that they'll allow it again even though birds didn't get one.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats

Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats

That's interesting, because if I recall correctly, Herpetology didn't allow a binder. I was under the impression that bugs, herpetology, birds, and trees were all analogous; wouldn't they allow the same resources each year per event?

I'm assuming this will focus solely on trees (hence the name).

It could look at ecological and climate aspects of trees, like types of trees, biomes, that sort of things, plus the types of trees that grow in the local area. I'm sort of looking at this like Envirothon.
