Kuusien istuttamista Suomen 100-vuotisen itsenäisyyden kunniaksi

Akkreditoiduille suurlähettiläille Suomi kokoontuivat Paloheinässä istuttamaan kuusia juhlistaakseen Suomen 100-vuotista itsenäisyyttä.
 
Vuonna 1917 eduskunta julisti valtion itsenäiseksi. Juhlistaakseen tapahtumaa, istutettiin kuusi. Tapahtuma tunnetaan ”Itsenäisyyden kuusi” –perinteenä, ja sanan alkuperä yhdistetään itsenäisyyteen. Kun Suomi juhli 50-vuotista itsenäisyyttään vuonna 1967, istutettiin kymmeniä tuhansia kuusia, ja vuoden 2017 aikana maan satavuotista itsenäisyyttä juhlistetaan yhtälailla istuttamalla kuusia.
