Thank you!

Trees can't talk. But we hear them. Do you?

For years, we've celebrated our beloved trees through the European Tree of the Year contest. But we also give a voice to Trees in Need.

Skis Versus Trees

Protests have recently erupted in Sofia, Bulgaria due to the construction of new Slopes and Ski Lifts in Pirin National Park.

Construction of a metro station threatens 50 trees in Schaerbeek, Brussels

The Square François Riga in the Brussels neighbourhood of Schaerbeek is not only one of the green and social hearts of the area, hosting a weekly market, but is also the home to 7 classified remarkable trees.

Alarming illegal logging in Romania

In 2016, a report by Greenpeace alerted about the increasing number of illegal logging registered by the authorities in Romania. As mentioned in the report, this can be explained by an increase of the authority efficiency on identifying and documenting these cases, as well as due to the increased phenomena of illegal logging.

There are trees across Europe today crying out to be heard.

Unfortunately, laws protecting trees and our natural heritage in the European Union and its member-states are weak. That's why it's time for you, me and everyone to speak up for Trees in Need.

Join other tree-lovers by making a donation* to help protect Europe's Trees in Need through advocacy, education, legislation and grass- roots actions. Even a little gift will help ensure that our trees' voices are heard.

*100% of your gift will be used for tree advocacy initiatives of the Environmental Partnership Association and its grantees, including tree planting, education and awareness activities (Tree of the Year contest and newsletter) and advocacy (petitions presented to the EU in Brussels.)
