To celebrate the International Year of Forests, the theme for PostEurop’s postage stamps for 2011 is trees and forests. Europa stamps have been produced by many European countries and demonstrate some wonderful and varied designs. Here are some of my favourites.
If you have a philatelic interest and want to see more trees on stamps, particularly historic stamps, have a look here.

Nice collection! Czech contribution to the International Year of Forests, “Alluvial forest”, is to be found here: http://j.mp/mcSQin
Ah, I din’t read carefully. All the stamps can be found on the PostEurop’s site you linked to. My apologies.
I was waiting for someone to ask that question! There were many other countries that I missed out too, other than England. I showcased some of my favourites and other ones I thought interesting and I’m afraid the the British ones didn’t make the cut – just a matter of my personal taste.

A fabulous selection – why isn’t England included ?
