Autumn is fast upon us, and the trees in the Comox Valley are beginning their transition into the winter season. CVN’s Comox Valley Trees team (formerly Trees of the Year) is inviting you to share how your favourite trees are changing with the season and preparing for the winter ahead. 

It could be a brilliant display of autumn foliage, a production of fruit, nuts or berries, or as a  winter haven for wildlife.  As the leaves fall, do they reveal an interesting or unique tree architecture, shape or silhouette? Perhaps you have discovered trees of interest in forgotten spaces or unusual or unexpected places, or trees with fungi or lichen.

Send us the story of why you selected your tree of note. Include a brief description of the tree,  a photograph, and the geographical location of the best viewing spot. Ideally the tree is in a public location to facilitate viewing.

Please send your story to comoxvalleytrees@gmail.com

We will share your stories on this website and on CVN’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

Also, be sure to check CVN’s Events calendar regularly for other Comox Valley Trees events such as knowledge walks.
