National Tree Week offer

National Tree Week takes place from 4-10 March 2007 and Kildare County Council will have approximately 250 standard trees and 350 saplings for distribution to schools, residents’ associations and community groups during the week.

The offer is in conjunction with Coillte and the Tree Council of Ireland. A form of application is available here.

The standard trees will require staking and stakes are not provided by the Council. Distribution of the trees will occur at the end of February to early March.

Trees will be distributed as fairly as possible based on demand and applicants may not receive the number or type of trees requested.

Further information is available from Environment Section, Kildare County Council, Arás Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas (marking the envelope 'National Tree Week').

You can phone 045 980588 or email.
