Ireland’s largest annual celebration of trees and forests - Sunday, 9th March – Sunday, 16th March
National Tree Week 2025
National Tree Week is organised by the Tree Council of Ireland and proudly supported by Coillte.
150,000 tree saplings will be donated by Coillte to local community groups, with events happening nationwide to encourage tree planting and environmental awareness.
"Planting Trees, Growing Together" – This year’s theme highlights the deep connection between trees, people, and the environment, emphasising how tree planting fosters stronger communities, promotes sustainability, and prepares us for a changing climate.
Trees bring people together—whether through local planting events, shared green spaces, or educational initiatives. By working collectively to plant and care for trees, we strengthen community bonds and create healthier, greener spaces for future generations. As Ireland faces evolving climate challenges, planting trees that are suited to future conditions is more important than ever. This year’s theme encourages thoughtful planting strategies that support long-term environmental health, ensuring that our forests and green spaces continue to thrive.
A packed schedule of events will take place across Ireland throughout the week from group forest walks and tree-planting events to local workshops and forestry talks.
