These stamps were issued by Jersey Post to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jersey Trees for Life.

The stamps depict six of Jersey’s most magnificent trees, each of them having been recorded on either the local or national tree registers; notable trees are measured and included if they are the tallest of have the largest girth of that species.

Melanie Gouzinis, Philatelic Product Manager explains: “Through local media, we became aware of the impending anniversary of Jersey Trees for Life and the local and national tree registers. After researching the subject with the assistance of their committee members, we have produced beautifully painted stamps which not only feature some of Jersey’s most outstanding trees, but which also celebrate a milestone event of one of the island’s many important organisations.”

The stamps have been painted by artist Michael Pollard.
