Let k and n be integers such that 1≦k≦n-1, and let G be a simple graph of order n. The k-
token graph F_k(G) of G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of V(G), where two
vertices are adjacent in F_k(G) whenever their symmetric difference is an edge of G. In this
paper we show that if G is a tree, then the connectivity of F_k(G) is equal to the minimum
degree of F_k(G).
