By planting a Woodland tree, you are:
• Supporting the growth of Ireland’s native and naturalised forests.
• Providing shelter, nectar, and food for birds, insects, and mammals.
• Helping to restore damaged ecosystems and hedgerows.
• Capturing carbon and producing oxygen.
• Strengthening biodiversity and climate resilience.
• Pollinator Support – Blossoms from Whitethorn, Blackthorn, and Pyracantha provide nectar-rich food.
• Food for Wildlife – Berries, sloes, and seeds sustain birds and mammals across the seasons.
• Habitat Creation – Dense growth and long lifespans provide safe shelter and nesting sites.
• Carbon Capture – Helps reduce carbon emissions while improving air quality.
• Soil & Ecosystem Health – Deep roots and hedgerow diversity strengthen ecosystems.
• Resilience – Mix of species ensures forests can adapt to changing conditions.
• Seasonal Beauty – Flowers, fruits, and foliage add colour throughout the year.
Each Woodland tree plays a unique role, but together they weave a stronger, richer forest. By planting one, you are not just growing a tree, you’re restoring balance, protecting wildlife, and connecting to a living legacy of Ireland’s landscapes.

We will plant one of four species, Whitethorn, Blackthorn, Hornbeam, or Pyracantha—depending on the needs of the site.
Woodland trees represent diversity and resilience. This option helps strengthen ecosystems by planting where each species will thrive best.
Whitethorn and Blackthorn are native. Hornbeam and Pyracantha are naturalised species that bring significant biodiversity benefits.
Pollinators, birds, and mammals all benefit, bees feed on blossoms, birds eat berries and sloes, and dense branches provide nesting shelter.
Yes. You’ll receive a hand-printed certificate by Sally Caulwell with the planting location and certificate number.
Absolutely. Planting a Woodland tree is a meaningful gift that symbolises diversity, resilience, and renewal.
