2026 TREE OF THE YEAR
Inspired by the European Tree of the Year, join us in celebrating St. Simons Island’s inaugural Tree of the Year – OLD IRONSIDES.
For more than 300 years, this live oak has been rooted in the lives of the people who have loved it, the generations who have nurtured it, and the community that has passed it daily. It’s been a part of family traditions, childhood adventures, and the island’s landscape—and now it’s protected for generations to come!
WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THEIR PATRONS.
Pennies for Preservation is a voluntary giving program in which the business community helps raise funds to preserve and protect greenspaces, wilderness areas, trails, waterways, wildlife, important habitat, and tree canopy on St. Simons Island.
