10k volunteers to plant 1m trees

A mission to plant one million trees in one day is expected to attract up to 10,000 volunteers in 32 counties next month.

The cross-border project will see hundreds of acres planted with a bio-diverse system of native Irish trees over a 24-hour period.

Almost 2,000 landowners have signed up to join the cause, from farmers to schools, colleges, councils, and community groups.
