National Tree Week 2023 will take place from 19th to 26th March and Fingal County Council has a number of initiatives planned to celebrate this including plans to distribute 16,000 trees to residents across the county, as well as hosting a number of community planting events and workshops.
All ages are welcome, we love to have schools come to plant trees.
Spades will be available but bring your own if you have one.
People attending need footwear for mud and grass, a change of footwear, maybe a snack/ drink depending on how long you will stay. Warm clothing is essential.
