Welcome to our community forest initiative in Ireland. Our vision is to create diverse and thriving woodlands that are accessible and welcoming to all members of society, including those who have historically been marginalized or excluded from outdoor spaces.

​

We believe that everyone has the right to enjoy the beauty and benefits of nature, and that community forests can be a powerful tool for promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in our society. Our initiative is guided by the principles of the right to roam, which emphasizes the importance of open access to natural spaces for all.

​

Our community forests not only provide a space for recreation and enjoyment, but also serve as a source of fuel security, forest livelihoods, tree nurseries, seed banks, and biochar. By working together to create and maintain these forests, we can create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Join us in this exciting initiative, as we strive to create a better future for ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
