Creating forests and restoring native biodiversity.

For everyone.

Join us in returning the wild spaces to the heart of our communities

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.
