Ireland Community Tree Planting, Ireland

2 Reviews

Our project will address long-term ecological and biodiversity losses in Ireland. After decades of deforestation, many formerly forested areas of the island of Ireland are now treeless and desolate. With this first step, we will be planting 10,000 trees as a strategy to regenerate original and crucial temperate rainforest habitat. Alongside this, this will engage the wider community, including the general public, businesses, and schoolchildren.

Project activities

Reforestation

The project is planting trees to re-establish forest cover in an area that has been deforested.

Conservation

The project works to achieve forest health and biodiversity for the benefit and sustainability of current and future generations.

Preservation

The project owns areas protected from industrial activity to help preserve species and healthy ecosystems for the future, ensuring its long-term sustainability.

Agroforestry

The project is planting trees on agricultural land for multiple purposes, including the agricultural use of trees, combined with agricultural crops and/or livestock.

Afforestation

The project is planting trees to create a forest in an area that was previously not forested.

Water resources management

Water Resources Management

Water supplies are part of the project's sustainable management. It improves the quantity and quality of the water and contributes to the reduction of water-related risks, such as floods.

Planting methods

Direct seeding

Direct Seeding

The sowing of seeds directly into the soil where the trees are to be established.

Muvuca

This direct-seeding method involves spreading the seeds of hundreds of varieties of native species over every square meter of land.

Seed Bomb

One seed, or multiple, wrapped in a mixture of clay and compost, protecting the seed from harsh weather conditions and seed-eating animals.

Aerial seeding

Aerial Seeding

The technique of sowing seeds by dropping them from a drone, plane, or helicopter. This method allows dispersing seeds into difficult-to-reach locations.

Seedlings transplant

Nursery Seeding

Seedlings transition from the nursery to their permanent site. They spend 3 to 6 months in nurseries before being transplanted. The seedlings are removed from their bag, which is usually made of plastic, to be transplanted into the soil.

Eco bags nursery

Nursery Bio

Seedlings transition from the nursery to their permanent site. The bags used are biodegradable, so there is no need to remove the seedlings, reducing the risk of a transplant shock.

Assisted natural regeneration

Assisted Natural Regeneration

Protection and preservation of natural tree seedlings in forested areas, employing different techniques to remove or reduce barriers to natural forest regeneration.

Environmental benefits

CO2 capture

CO2 Capture

The project holds ideal characteristics for carbon sequestration (CO2 offsets). These include a tropical climate zone, fast growing species, certain types of forests and project management.

Fauna conservation

Fauna Conservation

Animal species protection is part of the plantation management, such as the creation of safe habitats.

Fighting desertification

Fights Desertification

The project plants trees in arid zones to combat desertification and to help restore degraded land.

Land restoration

The project repairs degraded land back into a healthy and productive land.

Avoiding deforestation

Avoid deforestation

The project's sustainable forest management helps stop deforestation and forest degradation.

Organic

The project is managed without the use of agrochemicals or herbicides.

Social benefits

Students & volunteers

Students & Volunteers

Project welcoming volunteers or students in the context of internships.

Infrastructure

Some infrastructure projects are developed on the plantations.

Ecotourism

The project accommodates guests under ecotourism programs.

Food security

Through a selection of tree species generating edible by-products (fruit, nuts, seeds, edible leafs), the project contributes to improving the nutrition of local communities, making the region more resilient to famine.

Poverty relief

Poverty Relief

The project creates employment opportunities for poor local communities and reduces exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather events.

Education

The project helps girls and boys access quality education in properly equipped schools.

Gender equality

The project aims to reduce inequality between women and men, empowering female farmers/workers.

Social economy

The project places social welfare above profit; the aim is to enhance the community's quality of life, economically, socially, culturally and environmentally.

Environmental awareness

The project cultivates environmental education for adults and/or children to raise environmental awareness.

Social inclusion

The project promotes initiatives for the social inclusion of marginalized groups through education and training.

Local heritage

The local cultural and environmental heritage is promoted through the documentation and preservation of traditional practices for the knowledge of future generations.

Indigenous tribes

The project involves reforestation in protected areas supporting the life of indigenous tribes. The trees are planted by or with the tribes to further protect their habitat and lifestyle.

Other key aspects

Scientific research

Scientific Research

Planting projects which can receive funding intended for scientific research.

Frequent updates

Frequent project updates

The project communicates regularly (more than once a month) letting you know what's going on in the field.

Award-winning

Project description

This project will address long-term ecological and biodiversity losses in Ireland. After decades of deforestation, many formerly forested areas of the island of Ireland are now very treeless and desolate, and Ireland has one of the lowest tree cover rates in Europe. Moreover, there are many instances recorded of trees not being welcome in rural areas, as these are seen as unnatural in a landscape devoid of trees for centuries.

This project will see the planting of 10,000 trees as a strategy to reintroduce habitat for important ecosystems. The west of Ireland would once have been covered by 'temperate rainforest', an extremely rare habitat today and one we are hoping to recreate. Alongside this, the project will engage the wider community, including the general public, businesses, and schoolchildren. It is essential that local people begin to once again see trees in the landscape as beneficial to their local environment, their farms, and their own mental health.

Updates to Tree-Nation's policies

Dear undefined,

We are excited to inform you that as of today, 03/06/2024, Tree-Nation will be shifting the majority of our operations to our Spanish company, Neovee Solutions. The Neovee entity is where Tree-Nation was originally founded and operated for thirteen years, and we return to it after a period working fully as a non-profit organization. From now on, Neovee Solutions will manage the Tree-Nation platform, while our non-profit arm will focus on the research and development of micro-conservation projects.
As a result of this transition, Neovee Solutions will become the new controller of your personal data, handling its storage and processing. This change in data management will not impact your experience with us. The company's team and activities remain unchanged, and your data will continue to be employed solely for the purposes disclosed at the time of registration.
To understand the reason behind this change, and why we are excited about it, please review our blog announcement. Though there is no action required on your end, you may review further details in our updated Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Terms of Service.
Please be aware that you have the right to deactivate or delete your Tree-Nation account if you do not wish to accept our terms under this updated structure. You may also request the deletion of your information by contacting us. If you have any questions, or wish to delete your data, please e-mail us at contactus@tree-nation.com.
Our team is thrilled to finally announce this transition as we have been preparing it for a whole year. It is a step towards enabling the expansion of our projects, aligning with our mission of planting one trillion trees by 2050.
We thank you for your support in this ambitious, yet essential goal.
