The Christmas tree gift from Oslo to London, gifted annually since 1947, symbolizes friendship, peace, and solidarity between the two cities, reinforcing shared history since WWII.
This year, for the first time, the Lord Mayor of Westminster and the Mayor of Oslo planted a replacement tree in the forest to ensure the tradition continues.
Transporting the tree this year from Oslo to Brevik was managed by electric trucks, and biodiesel was used for various machinery, cutting its carbon footprint by 80%.
Such traditions remind us of the importance of maintaining symbolic gestures of friendship and peace, crucial in an increasingly unstable global environment.
