We want to hear about the incredible trees you’ve seen!
Each year an elite group of trees go head-to-head for the most prestigious award in woodlands to date: Tree of the Year 🏆
And this year’s no different! Our focus for 2026 is trees that have survived “Against the Odds” 💪
Do you know a tree that’s growing in an unexpected place, lived through a major historic event, or battled disease?
If you have, we want to hear about it! 💚
You can nominate a tree for Tree of the Year by emailing us at [email protected] by Friday 3 July.
Make sure to include the tree’s location, its species, its backstory and 3 - 4 high resolution photos of the tree.
We’d like to thank Postcode Lottery UK players for supporting this year’s competition!
