Tour the Trees of the Year 2024

Nominations for Trees of the Year 2024 ended March 31, and we’ve been busy planning tour routes to help you visit these 27 impressive trees efficiently. Maps of these routes are now available. You can access them using the links in the tables below.

For full descriptions of the individual trees, including tree number, location, a photo, size, and the tree’s story, see this page: Trees of the Year 2024.

If you prefer a guided walk, CVN is also offering a few of these for members and the general public. To sign up for a guided walk, see the Events page.

Please respect private property boundaries and owner privacy by viewing the trees from public land unless otherwise invited in.

The maps

We have three ways for you to access the route maps using the links in the table below:

Individual routes

Note that the Grand Tour route encompasses almost all the nominated trees, which (except for #12 and #27) are also in one or another of the shorter routes.
