From RootsTo Results

We’re planting more than trees: we’re nurturing the future of our community and the planet.

On February 29th, our team joined the local community at St. Killian’s Primary School in Cork for a tree-planting event. We joined forces with Green Spaces for Health which, thanks to Maria Young and other members, has a long-standing commitment to local environmental campaigns and making Ireland even more greener. As a Revolution team, we planted a total of 19 trees, including 5 pear trees, 8 apple trees, and 6 hazelnut trees. This initiative is part of our commitment to give back to the community and reduce our carbon footprint.

Green Spaces for Health

” There are fewer trees in the socio-economic poorer areas of Cork than in the affluent areas, and this was a finding of the recent tree officer’s strategy that included a map of tree canopy cover in Cork with relevant stats. We have significantly added to the tree cover in this part of the city. It will take about five years for the trees to reach an accountable height but this is the necessary start, nevertheless, the impact will be immediate. The trees are a great addition to the school. As they grow and mature their real value will become evident in providing habitat for biodiversity, providing an educational corridor for the children, providing shelter, fruit, beauty and so much more.”

Name It

By giving each tree a unique name, we aimed to personalize our commitment to the environment and the local community. Naming them reflects our dedication to their growth and well-being, symbolizing our hope for a greener future and our care for the planet. It’s a reminder that every contribution to our environment, no matter how small, is significant and worthy of recognition. This approach underscores our belief in the importance of every single effort towards sustainability.
