National Tree Week 2012
This Sunday sees the start of National Tree Week in Ireland - a week-long series of events celebrating the impact of trees on our lives and on our environment.
>> Here at Communicate Science, we'll have a series of tree-themed posts to mark the occasion. Stay tuned! <<
National Tree Week runs from 4th-10th March and the theme for 2012 is 'Trees- Our Past, Our Present, Our Future'.
National Tree Week will kick off this Sunday with a series of events in Ardee, Co. Louth at which President Michael D. Higgins will participate in a tree planting ceremony at 12 noon.
There are loads of events throughout the country - check out the website for full details.
Highlights include:
Clare - A guided tree walk in the Burren where there is famously "not enough wood to hang a man".
Cork - A guided walk at the Gearagh Nature Reserve near Macroom - the finest surviving example of ancient, post-glacial wooded floodplain on the River Lee.
Cork - A guided tour of the spectacular Fota Arboretum by Head Gardener David O'Regan.
Dublin - 'In Celebration of Trees' - An exhibition of Bonsai at the National Botanic Gardens.
Dublin - The inaugural National Tree Week lecture takes place at the National Botanic Gardens. "The Once and Future Forest" will be delivered by Dr. John Feehan.
Wexford - A forest walk at JFK Arboretum featuring a description of forest species, forest management, timber uses, wildlife and a demonstration of how to plant and fell trees.
Full details of times, dates, cost (where applicable), etc. can be found on the NTW website.
