Westmeath Community Development

National Tree Week will take place from 7-13 March. This year the theme is ‘Twenty Ten – Plant Again’. The Tree Council of Ireland is asking people to make a renewed effort to go out and plant more trees during this week.

The aim of National Tree Week is to raise awareness about trees and encourage local communities and local authorities to participate in over 300 events which will take place around the country during the week. Events are organised all over the country which include forest walks, tree planting ceremonies, workshops, talks, competitions and even tree plantathons!  For more details log on to www.treecouncil.ie
