European Tree of the Year 2015: Lady's Tree, Loch of the Lowes, Perthshire
This Scots pine on a nature reserve in Perthshire is part of a conservation success story. For the past 24 years an osprey affectionately known by many as ‘Lady’ has been returning to a nest in its branches. Over this time she has laid 71 eggs and fledged 50 chicks, and a webcam on the tree attracts over 1 million viewers a year in over 160 different countries. Sept: I’ve been awarded a Woodland Trust tree pack of 105 Wild Wood trees, to be delivered in Nov - strong, hardy species that are better suited to surviving on uplands, moors, and windswept areas: downy birch, rowan, hazel, hawthorn, holly and crab apple.
