Despite its lush reputation, Ireland has one of Europe’s lowest forest covers—just 11% compared to the EU average of 38%. Even more concerning, native broadleaf trees make up only 2% of our land area.
But that's changing!

🌳Broadleaf trees, like the Oak, are known for their wide, flat leaves—quite different from the needle-like foliage of conifers. Most are deciduous, shedding their leaves in autumn, though some, like the evergreen Holly, keep their leaves year-round.

🌱 While the world above ground slows down, beneath the soil, it’s the ideal season for young saplings to establish their roots in their new homes.
