Help save the Construction of the Millennium

The 16,000 trees alongside the Göta Canal are not only beautiful, their roots also support the canal bank, preventing it from collapsing into the canal. Sadly, many of the trees that are part of what has been named “Swedish Construction of the Millennium” are dying and in need of your help. Become a tree sponsor yourself, or give the gift of sponsorship to a loved one, as a keepsake on a wedding or christening day, or to honour someone who has passed away. Sponsorship includes a beautiful tree certificate, the name of the sponsor will be shown on sponsor’s plaques along the canal and sponsors will be invited to an annual tree planting ceremony.

Save Sweden’s most extensive allée of trees

In 2000, the Göta Canal was named “Swedish Construction of the Millennium” and the beautiful allée is an important part of this treasured construction. Becoming a tree sponsor means that you are actively participating in the preservation of Swedish cultural heritage, whilst also contributing to a better environment. A tree along the Göta Canal is an excellent keepsake for christenings and birthdays, or to honour the memory of a loved one. The tree will be a memory, growing stronger every year.
