All with thanks to Coillte, proudly supporting National Tree Week
This week on Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show, we've teamed up with Coillte to celebrate National Tree Week.
National Tree Week, proudly supported by Coillte, is taking place next week from Sunday 3rd March – Sunday 10th March!
To celebrate, we are giving you the chance to WIN a weekend away in Wicklow including overnight accommodation and a trip to Beyond the Trees Avondale at Avondale Forest Park, Co. Wicklow.
All with thanks to Coillte, the prize includes:
- Entry into Beyond the Trees, Avondale which grants you access to the Treetop Walk, Viewing Tower, and Avondale House
- Two nights’ accommodation for 2 adults and 2 children with dinner on an evening of your choice
- PLUS a Coillte Annual Family Pass that gives you access to Coillte's forest parks for a year
National Tree Week is all about communities joining together and celebrating all the good things that trees and forests do for us in promoting and maintaining biodiversity.
Did you know? Trees are important for many reasons:
- Trees are important for producing wood: Wood is an environmentally friendly resource grown in Ireland and used to make things like furniture, fences and houses.
- Trees are important for climate change and nature: Trees clean the air we breathe and are important for biodiversity providing homes for plants and animals.
- Trees are important for recreation and fun: Getting out in nature is good for your health and well-being - walking, running, cycling and more!
There are events happening all across the country during Tree Week including group forest walks, forestry talks and tree-planting activities.
Check out @Coilltenews on social media or visit http://www.treecouncil.ie to discover planting events in your local area.
Tune in this week to the Ian Dempsey Breakfast show from 6am for your chance to win!
