Is there a tree in your neighborhood that is so lush, green and healthy that it could win a beauty contest?
Maybe it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. You could help make this tree the Tree Trust’s Tree of the Year in 2024.
The goal is to bring more attention and appreciation to deserving trees across Ontario.
Toni Ellis, executive director of Tree Trust in Centre Wellington, said last year’s winner in Fergus, Ontario, was given a small party and even got to wear a sash.
“It’s about helping communities identify important, significant and significant trees in their community. People are invited to suggest a tree that they think deserves public recognition and recognition,” she said.
“So many of us are concerned about the state of our planet, climate change and so on. By taking care of our trees, we can all be part of the solution.”
To find out how to nominate your beautiful tree, visit the Tree Trust website or contact your local branch.
There are separate tree selection committees in different parts of Ontario, including Centre Wellington, Toronto Island and the City of Blue Mountains.
