A huge well done to the Waterford Trees for Life volunteers who were out at Meadowbank housing estate this morning! They got stuck in planting 20 new trees along with pollinator-friendly shrubs—the first step in a exciting broader project that will see:

- 80 new trees planted

- 100s of pollinator-friendly shrubs

- 1,000s of early-flowering spring bulbs

A big shoutout to Meadowbank and St Johns Residents Association for successfully securing funding through Waterford City and County Council’s The LEAF Grant Scheme, and to The Tree Nursery Passage East for supplying these fantastic trees and shrubs.

Over the next few weeks, local residents and volunteers will be out finishing up the rest of the planting. Keep an eye out for all the lovely new greenery popping up!

Improving Access at Gracedieu Wood nature reserve🌳

On Saturday, members of our Waterford Branch - Native Woodland Trust teamed up once again with the wonderful Waterford Lions Club for a project that might seem small at first glance, but will make a big difference to the future management of Gracedieu Wood Nature Reserve.

With the expert help of volunteers from Renew Enterprises , a new pedestrian access gate was successfully installed at the woodland's "service entrance" at the young woodland's edge

The days of climbing fences to access the reserve to conduct maintenance are now officially over!

While a gate may not sound as exciting as planting trees or collecting seed, good access is essential for conservation. The new entrance will make it easier for volunteers to carry out woodland management, undertake biodiversity surveys, check on the reserve after storms and continue the ongoing work of caring for the woodland.

A special thank you goes to the team from Renew, a social enterprise doing fantastic work in the local community. We are particularly grateful to the project lead, a carpenter by trade and Waterford Wexford Education and Training Board supervisor, who generously volunteers with Renew on Saturdays.

This project is another wonderful example of what can be achieved when community organisations come together with a shared goal.

A huge thank you to our friends in Waterford Lions Club, whose support for the Native Woodland Trust over the years has been greatly appreciated, and to everyone who gave up their Saturday morning to help improve access to Gracedieu Wood..

A huge thank you to the fantastic team at Renew and our dedicated Waterford Lions Club volunteers, who spent this morning erecting a brand-new gate at The Native Woodland Trust site in Gracedieu!

This gate was generously sponsored by Waterford Lions Club as part of the Waterford Trees for Life project.

Renew is an incredible social enterprise—they’ve been amazing partners on several of our initiatives, including our reading glasses recycling project. We love collaborating with such a super organisation to make a positive impact in our local environment!

Waterford Trees For Life volunteers were back at the SETU Carriganore campus today to check in on and care for our young tree saplings planted earlier this year!

We were thrilled to be joined by a fantastic group of first-year SETU Forestry students who lent a brilliant helping hand. Together, the team pulled back tall grass from around each sapling and topped them off with a heavy bucket of woodchip mulch. This simple step makes a huge difference: it suppresses competing w**ds, holds in crucial soil moisture, and feeds the soil as it breaks down.

These saplings hold a special place in our community—they were originally planted back in March by the brilliant 6th class pupils from Mount Sion NS and St John of God NS. It’s wonderful to see them thriving!

Well done to the Waterford Trees for Life volunteers! A great morning's work done with Mick Keating (Corlann / Brothers of Charity), staff, and service users.

Along with Yvonne Grace (SETU Horticulture lecturer), we cleared an area of stones, raked, levelled, placed cardboard, and covered it with woodchip.

The plan for this old walled garden at Carriganore House is to create an old-style herb garden. Mick explained the vision, and it sounds like a brilliant educational project for horticulture!

Some of our volunteers also worked alongside Yvonne to w**d and tidy the flower and herb beds. It was fantastic working with the Corlann team, who always give great support to our winter tree-planting projects.

We also discussed a couple of upcoming projects for this season with both Corlann and the SETU Land Sciences Department.

An incredible effort by the team today - In just about 80 minutes, our amazing volunteers managed to tend to almost all of the 500 young tree saplings planted back in March at Lismore Park.
We have some fantastic news to share: out of all 500 trees, we only found about 4 that didn't take.

We pulled back the long grass from around the young saplings, carefully trimmed it using garden shears, and laid it back down around the base. This acts as an extra layer of mulch to help retain moisture during the warmer months and feed nutrients back into the soil.

A massive well done to everyone who came out and put in the hard work. Great work done!
