Our Initiatives
NATIONAL TREE WEEK
National Tree Week is an annual celebration organised by the Tree Council of Ireland in partnership with Coillte.
As Ireland’s largest celebration of trees, the week brings people, communities, schools and organisations together to celebrate our trees and recognise the important role they play in our environment.
Events and activities take place across the country, encouraging everyone to learn more about, appreciate and protect Ireland’s trees.
NATIONAL TREE DAY
National Tree Day is an annual celebration organised by the Tree Council of Ireland in partnership with Glennon Brothers for primary schools across Ireland.
Taking place on the first Thursday of October each year, it encourages children to discover the wonder of trees, learn about their importance and connect with nature through fun, hands-on activities.
Participating schools also have the opportunity to receive a tree sapling to plant and care for.
TREE PROJECT AWARD
In partnership with SuperValu TidyTowns, the Tree Project Award celebrates community projects that use trees to enhance towns and villages across Ireland.
The award recognises not only tree planting, but also the long-term care and stewardship of trees, highlighting projects that help create greener, healthier and more sustainable communities.
