Announcing the Winners of our Hug-a-Tree Contest!

In honour of the International Year of the Forest, Nature Canada challenged our supporters to show their love for trees by sharing their tree-hug themed photos in our Hug-a-Tree contest. 

We are thrilled to have received over 330 awesome entries. Now the time has come to share the winning photos! Check out our slideshow of the winners from each category and visit the Hug-a-Tree gallery to see all the awesome entries. 

Our lucky winners have received great prizes like a gift basket of Boreal Forest Teas, a collection of endangered species games courtesy of Anouk's Ark and an Apple iPad. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest and congratulations to the winners!

Grand Prize Photograph comments:

This photo is of my friend Norma Falconer.

The Syme 55+ Centre is a senior's group and we are members. The bus group was out at the Terra Cotta Inn last fall (2011) when I snapped this photo of my friend hugging a willow tree.

Norma is as much of a passionate tree hugger as myself and is thrilled that Nature Canada picked this photograph.

Thank you so much for my ipad and choosing this picture of a very special woman who loves trees.
