Short answer
Redwood Finder prefers "notable" to "champion". Champion claims should only appear when independently verified.
What notable means here
A tree, grove, or avenue may be notable because it is well sourced, especially old, unusually large, publicly meaningful, or part of a documented designed landscape.
Measurement caution
Measurements need source, method, and date context. Unsourced champion claims should be treated as leads, not facts.
Frequently asked questions
Is notable the same as champion?
No. Notable is a careful editorial label. Champion should require independent verification.
Does every notable claim need a source?
Yes. Notable claims should point back to source or field context.
