Ireland Community Tree Planting

Small, but putting down roots.
This is what early-stage reforestation looks like in Ireland — a young native tree finding its footing in ground that's been grassland for generations. The bronze tips are new growth, which means it's adapting. That's exactly what you want to see.

1 metre tall and growing. The latest health checks are in and the trees here in Ireland are thriving. A small but meaningful milestone for the forest. 🌳

Planting trees on former agricultural land in Ireland is part of a longer restoration process. Over time, tree cover helps rebuild soil structure, retain moisture, and reintroduce ecological complexity.

In Ireland, our project made tree planting a community effort.

Last week, I went over to visit our project in Ireland, at their base in County Clare. Such an inspiring project to incentivise and support local landowners and communities to plant trees in their local areas.
This year, we supported the planting of 10,000 trees and we were very

Great to visit Co Clare last week and see the work happening on the ground in Ireland!

Great to see the trees arriving for planting out at Gortnaboul, County Clare! These trees will create an area temperate rainforest in the west of Ireland - a globally rare habitat that is native to this part of Ireland. Can't wait to see these trees grow and for wildlife to return

Very excited to have started this fantastic project in County Clare! This is an extremely deforested part of Ireland, with most of the existing trees being used for commercial plantations (such as the two existing woodlands in the pictures) so it's inspiring to think we'll be planting
