The European Tree Planting Day is a movement that wants to unite communities across Europe to plant trees simultaneously.
From municipalities, companies, NGOs to individuals, they all join forces in a collective effort to combat climate change through the simple yet powerful act of planting trees.
The second edition of the European Tree Planting Day has continued to mobilise thousands of people to plant trees in over 20 countries in Europe.
Whether you have been with us since the very beginning or joined along the way, thank you for joining the movement!
We are extremely proud of what we have achieved together, and we will continue growing the movement in Autumn 2026.
With more than 11,000 trees and bushes planted and hundreds of volunteers involved, Lars van Peij and the Maasheggenmooi initiative are the winner of the 2026 European Tree Planting Day Award for their outstanding commitment to biodiversity, landscape restoration, and local heritage.
