World Olive Tree Day
Every day, but especially on 26 November we honour the olive trees in our olive grove – from young to old trees. That day UNESCO has declared World Olive Tree Day.
”The olive tree, specifically the olive branch, holds an important place in the minds of men and women. Since ancient times, it has symbolized peace, wisdom and harmony and as such is important not just to the countries where these noble trees grow, but to people and communities around the world.
Conserving and cultivating the olive tree is a growing imperative as the world combats and adapts to climate change. The protection of cultural and natural heritage, including landscapes, is at the heart of UNESCO’s mission and marking World Olive Tree Day reinforces environmental sustainability efforts. The aim of World Olive Tree Day is to encourage the protection of the olive tree and the values it embodies, in order to appreciate its important social, cultural, economic and environmental significance to humanity. ”
We wholeheartedly agree and want to showcase one our Grand Ladies that is estimated to be over a thousand years old. Doesn’t she look great!
