Helping Our Trees Recycle

Back to earth…

eing busy – and often – grumpy little bees here at GG HQ, we actually missed the big Freedom Forest tree planting up in Delgany last February.

It was clearly a sight to behold, as the nature group EcoSikh Ireland, Reforest Nation and both the Greystones and Kilcoole Tidy Towns gangs joined forces with others to plant 10,000 trees over three days up at Ballydonagh Lane, just beyond the Octagon.

And it was all done employing The Miyawaki Method of planting trees tightly together so they grow much faster, the focus being on biodiversity rather than carbon storage…

And now, EcoSikh Ireland have organised a Spooktacular Charity Cyclethon as part of fundraising efforts to plant a further 10,000 trees at Freedom Forest, which is actually on a kind donor’s private land up on Ballydonagh.

Running on Sunday, October 29th from 10am to 2pm, everyone is invited to come on down for face painting, a ghoulish bake sale and a frightful raffle.

And to watch some poor feckers cycle themselves into a fine sweat.
