Tiny Forests LEAF Ireland
Four of the LEAF schools took part in a new Programme called ‘Tiny Forests’. The schools were: Scoil Mháthair Dé, Fedamore NS, Limerick Educate Together and Our Lady Queen of Peace.
Tiny forests are small sense native woodlands, planted close together. The main aim is to create spaces on the school grounds, which will be an educational resource for the whole school. They will be places where biodiversity can thrive, home to ladybirds, beetles, millipedes, woodlouse, spiders, birds and other mammals.
200-400 trees were planted in the school grounds, in total 1200. The physical work was done with the students and teachers. In Fedamore, the local community got involved too. We sourced the trees from Saul at Celt Tree Nursery in Scarriff, Co. Clare. We planted 13 native species, including oak, birch, elder, blackthorn and hawthorn. We included a special guest, the wayfaring tree.
