National Tree Week is an annual, week-long festival celebrating all positive aspects of trees in our lives and environment. This year’s theme is ‘Trees – Our Past, Our Present, Our Future’.
As well as encouraging people to plant more trees, the Tree Council of Ireland asks people to celebrate our remarkable heritage of trees and woodlands and to recognise the significance of trees and forests as a living link to our past, as an enjoyable, life-enhancing asset in the present, and as a wise investment in our future.
National Tree Week is the ideal opportunity for eco groups, tidy towns, churches, schools and families to do something positive for their local landscape. By setting up events for National Tree Week within your community, you can inspire people of all ages to get out into the fresh air and together plant thousands of trees.
It’s great fun and really rewarding!
Why not help foster local resilience and plant an edible landscape of fruit and nut trees?!
