National Tree Week

The theme for 2025 is ‘Planting Trees, growing together’. By doing something as simple as planting a tree everyone can play their part in combating biodiversity loss and climate change.

Tree planting Events  are happening locally: eg Tralee Bay Wetlands Sat 8th@11am, and in Annadale, Killorglin @9.30am. Come and join the fun!

Parish Workshops: These included  one hour on setting aside  30% of our parish grounds for biodiversity by 2030, the 30-30 project.

Action: Watch it back on this website. Maybe we could all help our  endangered wild bee population by making our gardens and church grounds more bee friendly

Why not help to set up a Care of Creation Group in your parish., starting to respond to the call of the Irish bishops to set aside 30% of church grounds as a haven for pollinators.
