Voting has opened for the \u201cEstonian Tree of the Year\u201d competition. This year three trees are competing for the coveted title. They are the Verhuulitsa pine which is associated with Seto funeral customs, the Lippmaa linden, a witness to the richness of species on Abruka island, and the Reigi red beech with a great cultural history in Hiiumaa. The winner will represent Estonia at the European Tree of the Year 2023 competition.<\/p>\n

The aim of the European Tree of the Year competition is to highlight trees that play an important role as a carrier of cultural heritage and communities. More than the size, age or beauty of the selected trees, the focus is on the emotional connection that binds people to that tree.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s shortlist of the three trees competing for the title of Estonian Tree of the Year are:<\/p>\n
