Ireland Community Tree Planting
Ireland81.5 Quality Score
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.
