FAQs about Corporate Tree Planting in Ireland
Why should my company support tree planting in Ireland?
Partnering with Irish Trees enables your company to contribute to biodiversity restoration, rewilding Ireland, and climate action. By planting native Irish trees at Dunsany Estate, your organisation helps expand ancient woodlands, support Ireland’s largest private rewilding project, and meet up to 11 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—including climate, life on land, partnerships, and wellbeing.
What makes Irish Trees different from other tree planting charities or providers?
We’re not just planting trees—we’re restoring Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage. Key differentiators include:
Largest private rewilding project in Ireland (Dunsany Castle & Estate – 1,600 acres).
Focus on native species, local provenance, and proper land preparation.
No use of the controversial or diluted Miyawaki method.
Your tree planting supports both natural and built heritage—a portion of proceeds contributes to Dunsany Castle’s preservation.
Verified to support 11 of 17 UN SDGs, not just carbon offsetting.
How does corporate tree planting support our ESG and CSRD reporting?
Irish Trees provides:
Documentation aligning tree planting activities with ESG frameworks.
UN SDG alignment reports.
Metrics on biodiversity impact and carbon offsetting potential.
Branded certificates, badges, and assets for tender submissions and internal reports.
Natural Capital data to strengthen your company’s environmental story.
This makes us an ideal partner for CSR, ESG, SDG and CSRD-aligned corporate strategies.
What types of corporate packages do you offer?
We offer flexible options:
One-off corporate tree planting days – ideal for eco team-building, Earth Day or seasonal campaigns.
Multi-year rewilding partnerships – for organisations seeking consistent ESG impact.
Bespoke woodland creation or biodiversity sponsorships – tailored projects on Dunsany Estate linked to specific themes like biodiversity, heritage, or legacy trees.
Can we visit or bring teams to the planting site?
Yes! Corporate clients can:
Plant trees on site at Dunsany Estate as part of team-building or client engagement events.
Combine planting with nature walks, biodiversity workshops, heritage storytelling and castle tours.
Experience immersive, nature-based corporate eco activities in Ireland like pond creation, habitat mapping, and forest bathing.
What tree species are planted?
Only native Irish trees from local provenance nurseries are used. These may include:
Irish Oak (Quercus petraea & robur)
Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Silver Birch, Hazel, Rowan, Alder and Willow
Species selection depends on habitat, soil and ecological goals.
We never plant non-native conifers or crowd in saplings as seen in some poorly executed planting schemes.
Can we get branded certificates and marketing assets?
Yes. Every corporate partner receives:
Custom-branded digital certificates and signage options.
Web/social media badges (e.g. “Proud Rewilding Partner”).
Professional photos and impact stories (ideal for LinkedIn, CSR reports, tender documents, and staff newsletters).
Do you provide carbon offsetting data?
Yes. While our primary focus is biodiversity and ecosystem restoration, we can provide estimates for:
Carbon sequestration potential
Carbon neutral tree planting impact
Natural climate benefits of native woodland creation in Ireland
This helps you meet net zero or science-based target goals credibly.
Can we include this in our sustainability or annual reporting?
YAbsolutely. Irish Trees can help you:
Integrate tree planting into your annual ESG reports.
Demonstrate alignment with 11 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Share detailed outcomes including hectares rewilded, native species supported, and community benefits delivered.
