100 Million Trees Project

 Nenagh College Ty Students are delighted to be a part of 100 Million Trees Project, and today with John from the Project were involved in the planting of native Irish trees on a preprepared site. This is part of a biodiversity initiative in Nenagh College and we are very grateful to all involved in this endeavour.
The 100 Million Trees Project is a National Not-for-Profit initiative being run by Richard, David and Tina Mulcahy. The project aims to plant 100 million Native Irish trees across the island of Ireland over the next decade, to increase the native Irish tree population, to add to the biodiversity throughout the country and to help mitigate carbon dioxide output in Ireland. The project’s ambitious aim will be to densely plant up to 2,500 native Irish trees per Mini Forest in ¼ acre sites using ‘the Miyawaki method’.  Named after Japanese Botanist, Professor Akira Miyawaki, who developed the technique in the 1970s to restore degraded land, the Miyawaki Method of overplanting trees has been used in over 3,000 mini forests worldwide.
The trees  are planted as saplings (between 30 and 75 cm high) and  planted very densely so the idea is that in two or three years we will have a mini-forest.  It will be a place for the birds, bees and small animals.  Following planting  the site will marked by a  “tree” on the 100 million Tree  map of Ireland to acknowledge our participation in the project.
