Our Mission Statement
Fostering a Tree Culture in Ireland through Action and Awareness
The Tree Council of Ireland was established in 1985 with the purpose of promoting the planting, establishment, and conservation of trees and woodlands throughout the country.
​
Since its inception, it has grown into a prominent national non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing various aspects related to trees and woodlands.
​
As a voluntary organisation, the Tree Council acts as an umbrella group, bringing together bodies that share a common interest in trees and work towards achieving the objectives of the Council.
​
Our mission is to nurture a vibrant tree culture throughout Ireland by fostering both proactive engagement and widespread awareness. We are committed to enlightening the public about the intrinsic value and ecological significance of trees through dynamic events and tree-centric activities. Furthermore, we actively foster networking opportunities among our members, serving as a collaborative platform for sharing insights and resources.
​
​As advocates for tree culture and its vital role in environmental sustainability, we proudly represent the collective voice dedicated to the establishment and advancement of Ireland's trees. We work towards the preservation and proliferation of trees to ensure they remain a cornerstone of Ireland's natural heritage and sustainable future.
Our Objectives
Our Funding
The Tree Council is a non-profit organisation which does not receive any financial support from the government.
Instead, it relies on support from various sources to continue its voluntary work.
The sources of support include Friends of the Tree Council, annual subscriptions from member organisations, funds from its tree sponsorship scheme, revenue from its publications, and donations from the public.
Equally, an increasing number of companies are collaborating with the Tree Council as they acknowledge the multiple advantages of associating with an environmentally positive organisation that has the potential and enthusiasm to accomplish its goals.
By doing so, these companies are not only displaying responsible corporate behaviour but also contributing to the development of a better social and cultural environment for trees and woodlands in Ireland.
