History

The Tree of Peace (Slovak: Strom pokoja, Russian: Дерево мира, German: Der Friedensbaum) is an international project that originated in Slovakia. The project, created on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I, was initiated by landscape architect Marek Sobola from Žilina, Slovakia. The main goal of the project is to promote a message of peace by planting the "Tree of Peace" on every continent. This international project “Tree of Peace” officially represents the Slovak Republic under the brand called “GOOD IDEA SLOVAKIA – IDEAS FROM SLOVAKIA”. The Trademark License is granted by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic.[2] Until 2020, 15 Peace Trees have been planted in important places regarding military and world history.[1]

COVID-19 Tree of Peace

The well-known complications caused by coronavirus COVID-19 disease caused a worldwide collapse and restrictions, which also affected the international project called Tree of Peace. With the gradual recovery of the economy, a significant milestone is the planting of the first Tree of Peace in 2020 in Vysoká nad Kysucou village in Slovakia. This tree was given a unique name "COVID-19 Tree of Peace".[1]
