European Tree of the Year

The European Tree of the Year is an annual competition that celebrates notable and culturally significant trees across Europe. Organized by environmental and cultural organizations, it highlights trees with historical importance, unique stories, or ecological value. Communities nominate their revered trees, and the public votes for their favorite. The winning tree gains recognition, raising awareness about conservation, heritage, and the vital role trees play in ecosystems and local identity. This initiative fosters appreciation for natural heritage and encourages efforts to preserve these remarkable living monuments.
