January Tree Planting Events: 1st January & 31st January

We're kicking off the new year with tree planting in the lower Ballymacraven River along the Glen walk, Ennistymon.

Celebrate the first day of the year with us tree planting along the Glen walk, Ennistymon. New Years Day tree planting! Come join us and dust off any cobwebs from the night before.

Everyone is welcome from all ages and physical abilities. There will be multiple ways to get involved, not just tree planting.

We will meet by the arched stone bridge along the Glen walk. From there we will do introductions and have a chat about the native trees we are planting, why we are planting them and how to plant a tree.

Send us an email to restoreballymacravenriver@gmail.com to let us you you’re coming.

Directions for anyone who’s new to the Glen: follow Eircode V95 D2PC to Falls Hotel, follow the river path in the direction of the river’s flow, then you’ll come to a stone bridge (you can’t miss it) - we’ll meet there!

If you have any questions send us an email.

If you can't make it on 1st January, no worries! We are holding a second tree planting day same place on the 31st January, 11am.
