Equally, an increasing number of companies are collaborating with the Tree Council as they acknowledge the multiple advantages of associating with an environmentally positive organisation with the potential and enthusiasm to accomplish its goals.

By doing so, these companies are not only displaying responsible corporate behaviour but also contributing to the development of a better social and cultural environment for trees and woodlands in Ireland.

The project is a response to the challenge by Felix Finkbeiner, founder of Plant-for-the-Planet, to the children of the world to plant a million trees in every country as a symbolic and practical act promoting Climate Justice.

To qualify for inclusion on the registry a tree must be considered to be of biological, cultural, ecological or historical interest because of its age, size or condition.

However, the updating of this valuable tree resource is restricted due to a lack of funding.
