Your Trees Story
Your trees are cultivated with an attention to detail and care that reflects the best of Ireland’s natural heritage. It all starts with selecting seeds from the heart of Ireland’s last thriving native woodlands. These seeds are collected thoughtfully, with the remaining seeds left to support the woodland’s natural ecosystem. The selected seeds go through a cold stratification process that mirrors nature’s cycles, ensuring each seed is primed for growth at the right time.
After germination, your young trees are nurtured for two years, during which they develop into strong, healthy saplings. At this early crop stage, they are carefully harvested, ready to be planted at their prime for optimal growth. This is when their journey truly begins, as they take root in Reforest Nation’s Eco-Optimised Forests—a unique, innovative approach designed to replicate nature’s ecosystems. These forests foster higher biodiversity, faster growth, and greater resilience than conventionally planted forests, setting Reforest Nation apart in the world of reforestation.
Each of your certified native Irish trees is not only guaranteed for quality but is also the product of sustainable practices. The focus on exclusively local, native species sets Reforest Nation apart from many other Irish tree planting initiatives, ensuring that these trees are perfectly suited to the Irish climate, withstanding challenges and enhancing the surrounding environment. When you contribute trees for a loved one, you’re gifting them something truly special: premium trees that are part of a larger mission to restore Ireland’s landscapes, sequester carbon, and support biodiversity for generations to come.

It’s simply a platform requirement and won't affect the seamless delivery of your digital items.
🌍 Double the Impact with Every Tree
When you plant a tree in Ireland, we fund the planting of another in Kenya through our partnership with Seedballs Kenya. This ensures your contribution has a global impact, supporting reforestation and biodiversity both locally and internationally. In Ireland, we plant a diverse mix of native species, carefully sourced to thrive in their natural environment.
🎨 Personalised Certificates & Stunning Artwork
Each purchase includes a personalisable certificate and a digital watercolour artwork, crafted by the renowned artist Antoinette Monet. These high-resolution files are perfect for printing and make a beautiful keepsake or gift. You’ll receive a link after purchase to customise and download your certificate, adding a personal touch to your tree-planting journey.

🎁 Annual Tree Gift – Just for You
As a token of appreciation, you can opt-in to receive a free bag of native trees each year. These can be collected from one of our planting site locations, giving you the opportunity to further contribute to reforestation in your local area and grow your own mini forest.
🏅 Quality, Innovation, and Ambition
Reforest Nation leads Ireland’s tree planting efforts with a focus on quality and sustainability. We plant the widest variety of native species in Ireland, using robust, two-year-old trees that are ready to thrive. Our innovative approach includes the Miyawaki method, which significantly boosts forest growth, carbon capture, and biodiversity, ensuring your trees make a lasting environmental impact.
🎯 Milestones & Big Ambitions
We’re proud to have planted over 1 million trees—a historic milestone for any Irish tree planting initiative. This achievement reflects our credibility and commitment to making a real difference. But we’re not stopping there; our ambitious goal is to plant 10 million trees by 2030, demonstrating our dedication to restoring Ireland’s forests and combating climate change on a grand scale.
🌳 Planting a Diverse Forest with Your Gift
When you choose a gift such as “Oak,” you’re helping plant a range of native trees, not just oak. For example, “Oak – 100 Trees” means 100 trees of various species will be planted. The name reflects the artwork included with your gift, not the exclusive species planted. This approach ensures your contribution supports a diverse and resilient ecosystem.
