This week, our school community came together to plant 50 native trees on the south-west corner of our school site, thanks to the support of the Burren Beo Trust and their Hare's Corner Project 🐇
The trees—spindle, aspen, birch, Burren pine, alder, hazel, purging buckthorn, oak, holly and hawthorn—were all grown from seeds collected in Co. Clare.
Each class got the opportunity to plant and oversee their very own tree, making this not just an environmental initiative but also a shared learning experience. 🌱
A huge thank you to Grandad Eddie, whose expertise and history with our school woodland brought a special touch—he was part of the original shelter belt planting over 30 years ago! 🌲 We’re also so grateful to parents James and Padraic for their guidance and support, showing the children how to plant properly, and to Pakie for fencing the area during the summer to ensure the site was ready.
Finally, go raibh maith agaibh to the team on the Parents’ Association for getting this project off the ground / in the ground!!
We love our school woodland! 💚
