Your Fern will be planted in one of our carefully managed Irish planting sites as part of our habitat restoration work. You will receive a hand-printed certificate with your planting’s location and certificate number. Each planting supports biodiversity, habitat creation and healthier woodland ecosystems in Ireland.
Fern is a much-loved woodland plant known for its delicate green fronds and timeless appearance.
Irish name: Raithneach
Ferns thrive in cool, shaded and damp conditions, making them an important part of the forest floor and woodland edge. They add texture, movement and a wild, natural feel to native habitats.
