Staff at Killarney National Park Education Centre were so busy for National Tree Week that they had to call in the cavalry – in the form of pupils from the Presentation Monastery National School – to help with the woodland restoration project by planting sessile oak, Scott’s pine, alder and willow.
A total of 600 trees from the Killarney National Park nursery were planted at a designated area on the Port Road entrance to Knockreer Estate.
There to supervise matters were Siobhan McAllister and Tara Buckley from Killarney National Park Education Centre, conservation ranger Jess Burkett, Mon teacher Niamh O’Shea and SNA Caroline Mulcahy.
This annual event, organised by the Tree Council of Ireland in partnership with Coillte, celebrates the importance of trees and forests in fostering a sustainable future. The theme for 2025 is Planting Trees, Growing Together.
