This story is not finished yet. It needs you.
Trees play an essential role in our lives, therefore we must protect them.
We have come a long way, but to maintain and enhance the quality of the European Tree of the Year contest, we need additional funds. As a non-profit, our current budget falls short of making this event truly exceptional. Your donation, no matter the size, will mean a world - to the trees and to the people that cherish them.
Be the reason this story continues.

CONSERVATION OF OLD TREES

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES
This contest brings communities together to celebrate their unique trees, fostering a sense of pride and unity. Your donation will help to strengthen community bonds across Europe.
CARING FOR OUR PLANET
This contest stands as a symbol of sustainability. By supporting it, you endorse a cause that aligns with the urgent need for environmental conservation and awareness.
RAISING AWARENESS
Let Trees Be Heard. Trees give us shade, home and food for the animals, clean our air, help to retain water in our landscape and keep the soil healthy. Help us spread all these benefits by supporting the contest.
RUN FOR TREES
Every step counts. Every tree counts. Running and trees, we think it's a great combination. Thousands of amateur and professional athletes have been running for trees for more than 15 years. We call them tree runners. Become one of them too.
