Why your gift matters
Most gifts are quickly forgotten. Many are discarded within months — in fact, studies show that up to 40% end up in landfill within a year. A tree is different. It grows stronger with time, leaving a living legacy that endures for generations.
This gift doesn’t just avoid waste — it restores ecosystems, captures carbon, and builds a living legacy. Gifting a tree is gifting life, resilience and hope.
The journey of your trees
Every tree planted through Reforest Nation follows a carefully considered process, rooted in respect for Ireland’s natural ecosystems.
1. Seed gathering with care: Seeds are thoughtfully collected from thriving native woodlands, ensuring renewal while preserving the integrity of existing forests.
2. Prepared by nature’s rhythms: Each seed undergoes a natural cold stratification process, mirroring Ireland’s seasonal cycles to promote strong, healthy germination.
3. Raised with expertise and precision: Saplings are nurtured for two years under ideal conditions, developing deep root systems and resilience before being ready to thrive in the wild.
4. Planted in eco-optimised native forests: Your trees are planted within carefully designed forests that restore natural biodiversity, strengthen landscapes, and promote long-term ecological balance.
5. Protected in dedicated forest sites: Once planted, your trees grow freely within safeguarded environments, chosen to ensure they flourish for generations to come
“This is the most thoughtful gift I’ve ever given — meaningful, sustainable, and beautifully presented.”
— Emily O’Sullivan, Cork
“Visiting the trees I planted made it all real — knowing they’re restoring the island I love made it unforgettable.”
— Declan Doherty, Belfast
About your Rowan Trees
Rowan Trees, often called the “witch trees” of old Ireland, have long been revered as protectors of homes and sacred places. Their bright red berries and delicate leaves were believed to guard against evil, offering strength and blessing to those who lived nearby.
Growing naturally on mountainsides and rocky soils, Rowan Trees are hardy survivors, supporting pollinators and birds with their abundant blossoms and autumn fruits. Their elegant form and resilience make them vital pillars of Ireland’s native woodlands, enriching both biodiversity and tradition.
When you plant Rowan Trees through Reforest Nation, you help carry forward a legacy of protection and renewal. Your trees will stand watch across the landscape — offering strength, shelter, and spirit for generations to come.
