We love revisiting our #AnChoillBheag sites, better still when we get the opportunity to engage with the soon-to-be teachers from Mary Immaculate College (MIC) educating them about the importance of healthy, resilient forests🌿 These LEAF workshops are kindly being funded by Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine 👏
Think cities can't breathe? Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield. Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles UN-Habitat
LEAF no longer solely focuses on Forests, our acronym now includes ‘Ecosystems’ promoting the protection & restoration of ecosystems 🌊🌳 Our first non forest related project was with TY students & staff from Presentation Secondary School Tralee carrying out dune restoration work on Banna Beach🌊
