Irish schoolchildren (trans)plant 1 million trees
On the 28th and 29th of November the Easy Treesie Project with Crann, Trees for Ireland and will continue the great start made last spring with More Trees Now in an initiative to plant more indigenous trees through circular forestry. Trees can produce hundreds of saplings every year, with the majority not reaching maturity. A large part of that is due to routine forest management practices. On Tuesday 30 schoolchildren with community volunteers will take elder and willow cuttings and saplings at Seagrange Park, Baldoyle, Co. Dublin and will re-plant them within the park in areas where they have space to grow. On Wednesday volunteers of all ages are invited to join us at Da Farm, Kilternan to take tree cuttings and save saplings for a second chance. After this event these trees will be given away for free. Amid tree shortages and a dire need to restore the native biodiversity in Ireland, circular forestry can provide a solution that any member of the community can be a part of.
