Sustainability examples at The 100 Million Trees Project

The 100 Million Trees Project is an Irish National Not-for-Profit initiative being run by Richard, David and Tina Mulcahy.

The project aims to plant 100 million Native Irish trees across the island of Ireland over the next decade, to increase the native Irish tree population, to add to the biodiversity throughout the country and to help mitigate carbon dioxide output in Ireland.

The project’s ambitious aim will be to densely plant up to 2,500 native Irish trees per Mini Forest in ¼ acre sites using ‘the Miyawaki method’. Named after Japanese Botanist, Professor Akira Miyawaki, who developed the technique in the 1970s to restore degraded land, the Miyawaki Method of overplanting trees has been used in over 3,000 mini forests worldwide.

Planting excess trees together creates more rapid growth, greatly increased density, enhancing biodiversity significantly and importantly, facilitates a very rapid carbon sink. The Miyawaki approach requires much smaller planting areas and can be carried out on unused or fallow land across Ireland.

If you would like to be involved in the project, and if you have a suitable ¼ acre site and wish to have a mini forest we will donate the trees and plant the mini forest Free of Charge – all you have to do is click on this link https://100milliontreesproject.ie/sites/
