The winner of the European Tree of the Year 2015 is the Oak tree in a football field in Estonian village Orissaare. Before 1951 there was a small sporting area beside the oak tree, and when it was expanded the tree ended up in the middle of the stadium. For the locals in Orissaare it´s a common thing, but this tree is at heart of the community.
The European Tree of the Year contest originated in 2011. It was inspired by the popular Tree of the Year contest, which has been organised in the Czech Republic by the Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation for many years. The European round is a finale consisting of the winners of the national rounds.
