Nominate your favourite Tree of the Year

ELORA – Tree Trust is excited to announce the 2024 Tree of the Year contest.

Do you have a favorite tree that holds a special place in your heart? 

Whether it’s a towering oak in your backyard, a graceful willow by the river, or a majestic maple lining your street, we want to hear your stories and nominations! 

The Tree of the Year contest aims to highlight the beauty, diversity, and significance of trees in our communities. 

Through this contest we discover all kinds of trees underscoring the diversity of trees in our urban canopy.

To nominate a tree, simply submit a photo or drawing along with up to a 150 word description of why it deserves to be crowned “Tree of the Year.”

One tree will be selected by a panel of judges and honoured on Sept. 21. 

It may also qualify for “royal treatment” by Tree Trust arborist, Baum Tree Care. 

One entry will also be drawn at random for a $100 gift card to Magic Pebble Books.

Submissions close Aug. 15. To submit a nomination please email cw@treetrust.ca or, visit treetrust.ca to learn more.
