Coillearnach

Coillearnach – A Gift With Heritage at Its Heart Plant a Coillearnach in one of our Irish forests and become part of Ireland’s reforestation story. Your tree will be one of a carefully selected mix of Whitethorn, Blackthorn, Hornbeam or Pyracantha, each playing a unique role in restoring ecosystems, supporting wildlife and building climate resilience. Coillearnach is a celebration of our language, our landscape, our love of the land and our culture. The certificate that accompanies your tree honours that heritage with pride. This is an all-Irish gift, created for those who want to give something deeply meaningful, authentically Irish, and crafted with intention. Every element is presented as Gaeilge: the artwork, the certificate, the message, and the presentation card. Nothing is translated or adapted. This is an Irish gift, made in Ireland, written in Ireland, rooted in Ireland. For many people, especially those with Irish heritage abroad, this is more than a certificate. It is a connection to home. A moment of belonging. A living link to our land, our language, and the story of Ireland.
