Residents can submit local trees for Tree of the Year event

Do you have a favourite tree in the valley? Share it with the community.

Comox Valley Nature is holding the annual Tree of the Year event, highlighting trees of either interest, beauty, or importance in the valley, and allowing people to nominate their favourites.

Nature says that the goal of this event is to build a stronger connection to nature while raising awareness of local trees.

For this year, you are allowed to nominate more than one tree, but if it’s on private land, Nature says it must be accessible to view from public land.

Nominations can be put in anytime until March 31.
