- Corvus is a widely distributed genus of medium-sized to large birds in the family Corvidae. It includes species commonly known as crows, ravens, and rooks. The species commonly encountered in Europe are the carrion crow, hooded crow, common raven, and rook; those discovered later were named “crow” or “raven” chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller. The genus name is Latin for “raven”.

Trees are essential for our life and are an important link between the past, present, and future. They temper the summer heat, help us take a deep breath and stabilize the climate. We should protect and care for them. Will you help with our mission so that the benefits of Europe’s trees can be enjoyed by future generations?
