During National Tree Week, we held a Tree-Mendous Tree Day event in Dublin’s Merrion Square. Over 25 young people from across Dublin braved the cold, icy weather to learn more about Ireland's trees.

Even through spells of sleet and rain, the eager Tree Day participants scampered through the park to unlock the secret world of Irish trees during a cryptic tree safari. They learned to identify various species of trees and learned all about their ancient uses.

Dublin City Council joined the day, demonstrating tree planting and adding two new trees to the lush Merrion Square gardens. Each group received Silver Wattle Trees to take home to start their own planting project.

Thanks to all who came out to support National Tree Week! It was Tree-Mendous fun!
