The bendy elm crowned UK Tree of the Year
A unique, curved elm tree from Northern Ireland has been chosen as the UK's Tree of the Year. The tree, which is known for its distinctive shape, received the top honor after being nominated by a local group. This marks the first time a Northern Irish tree has taken home this award.
Why it's good news: Readers will appreciate learning about a remarkable example of nature and conservation in the UK.
