The nomination period for CVN’s Trees of the Year 2024 event ended on March 31. Once again we’ve seen how passionate and observant you, our community members, are for the trees around us in both our urban and rural environments. This year, you nominated 27 trees to celebrate, including specimens of 11 different species.
Here’s how the nominations broke down among those species, most frequent first:
- Douglas-fir (8)
- Bigleaf maple (5)
- Garry oak (3)
- Western redcedar (3)
- Sitka spruce (2)
and one each for (in no particular order) western white pine, flowering cherry, grand fir, arbutus, English walnut, and weeping sequoia.
You can read the stories and see photos of all these special trees here.
To whet your appetite, below is a sample of the photos (click a phot to enlarge it). Coming soon will be a post with maps of suggested routes for visiting these wonderful trees in person.
