CPRE Sussex are delighted to announce their annual Tree Festival photo competition is back for a third year! I Love This Tree Because… invites you to celebrate the trees you love through photography. They are looking for photographs that capture a meaningful moment with a tree – something that inspires, informs, or simply makes you smile. Entries could show a dramatic landscape tree, a hidden woodland gem, a favourite climbing tree from childhood, or the tree that brightens your daily walk. Whether you are an experienced photographer or simply enjoy taking pictures on your phone, everyone is welcome to take part. Alongside a photograph, they invite you to complete the sentence “I love this tree because…”.
The submission deadline is 11.59pm on 28 May. Click here for more information and entry forms.
The photo competition forms part of the annual Tree Festival.
This year’s festival will take place on:
Sunday, May 24
Friday, May 29 to Sunday, June 7
Saturday, June 6, to Sunday, June 7
