National Tree Week 2024
National Tree Week is running from March 3rd to March 10th. This annual event is organised by the Tree Council of Ireland, in partnership with Coillte.
This year’s Tree Week theme, “Planting Trees for a Greener Future” highlights the importance of planting more trees as a crucial component of addressing biodiversity challenges and fighting climate change.
National Tree Week kicked off in Waterford when eight trees were planted at Elm Park in Tramore by Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Joe Conway. The trees, mountain ash, were distributed by Waterford City and County Council, along with a further 200 native saplings which were delivered to Tidy Towns groups around Waterford city and county.
