About 100 Million Trees Project
The 100 Million Trees Project is a national Not-for-Profit initiative developed by brothers, Richard and David Mulcahy in 2023 with sister Tina coming on board in 2024. The project aims to see the planting of 100 million native Irish trees across the island of Ireland over the next decade, as a community-driven initiative to reverse the immense environmental damage caused by the reduction of forests worldwide and the loss of huge areas of biodiversity.
The project’s ambitious aim will be achieved through densely planting between 1000 and 2,500 native Irish trees at a time across small areas of land using ‘the Miyawaki method’.
By planting excess trees together these grow much faster, much more densely, create an area considerably more biodiverse and most importantly create a very rapid carbon sink. This inexpensive approach requires significantly smaller planting areas and can be carried out on unused or fallow land across Ireland. Dense small plantations will help mitigate against large forest fires, such as witnessed in Canada this summer, while at the same time provide excellent areas of biodiversity. You can help us make this project happen by making some land available for us to plant on (from 4,400 sq ft up to 11,000 sq ft sites)
