Choosing the Tree and the Tree-lined Street of the Year 2024
In recent years, Ljubljana has selected already four trees of the year and one tree-lined street of the year as part of our efforts to care for the city's trees.

Once again, we invite the citizens of Ljubljana to let us know which tree and tree-lined street they think deserves the title.
