Tree of the Year: readers are invited to choose their favourite tree
Published
The "Tree of the Year" competition allows the French to name their favourite tree. The vote is open to the public, who can therefore take part in the selection. Each year, this initiative attracts the attention of nature enthusiasts, but also of many people interested in local heritage.
The principle is simple: participants choose a tree from those presented in the competition. These trees are often remarkable for their age, their size or their history. Some are linked to a village, a family or an important event in the region. The vote thus makes it possible to highlight trees that are part of the landscape and of collective memory.
The organisers point out that the competition also aims to raise awareness. It encourages residents to better know the trees in their surroundings and to protect them. Ancient trees are indeed threatened by climate change, diseases and urbanisation.
To take part, it is enough to consult the information provided online and vote for the tree of one's choice before the closing date. Readers who wish to support a tree that is dear to them can therefore take part in this vote right now.
