Returning nature to the heart of our communities.
For everyone.
Join us in creating a network of Biodiversity Havens across Ireland
Our work is about more than just planting trees
Ireland is not as green as we would like to think. We need to radically reimagine our relationship to nature.
Our vision is to achieve a society where beautiful and flourishing wild spaces are at the centre of our communities. Working with communities and schools, we identify and transform underused spaces into Biodiversity Havens.
Our Biodiversity Havens combine complex ecological solutions with practical community-led actions
-
Flourishing Biodiversity
We create complex micro ecosystems that mimic nature as closely as possible. We use only native trees and plants of Irish provenance.
-
Climate Resilience
Protecting Biodiversity and building healthy soils is an incredibly important step toward climate resilience.
-
Community Collaboration
Every Biodiversity Haven is co-creation with a community. Working with the community we identify underused spaces that can be transformed into beautiful micro ecosystems.
-
Healthy Soils?
Description goes here
Living Woodlands specialises in creating Biodiversity Havens that protect and enhance our native biodiversity. We work with individuals, businesses, schools and community groups to transform bare or under-used land into flourishing living woodlands.
Our work is about more than just planting trees
We work at the local level and all our biodiversity restoration projects are based in Ireland. We connect schools and community organisations with businesses that want to make a difference.

We don’t just plant trees.
We create complex and biodiverse living woodlands
We collaborate with communities to identify underused and neglected areas that can be transformed into mini-ecosystems. What we term Biodiversity Havens are really a range of ecological interventions that can include mini woodlands, native hedgerows, fruiting orchards and biodiversity corridors. our Biodiversity Havens can be adapted to fit almost any space and the needs of the community.

Living Woodlands in Action
“Thank you Living Woodlands, we can’t express enough how wonderful the Tiny Forest project has been for our school. It’s like a little slice of nature magic right in the heart of our urban surroundings. Not only has it brought a burst of biodiversity to our campus,
but it’s also opened up a whole new world of nature education for our children. It’s hands-on, organic learning at its best, and we’re so grateful for this enriching experience.”
