Join us in celebrating Abbeyleix, a town renowned for its remarkable trees, from the ancient oak woodlands to the tree-lined main street and leafy parks. As part of Heritage Week, we're thrilled to invite you to a special event at Heritage House.

Discover the unique Tree Plan being developed for Abbeyleix with a talk by Landscape Architect Sophia Meeres from UCD. Learn about the ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance our town’s natural beauty, ensuring that our rich tree heritage is protected and developed for future generations.

But that’s not all! Put your knowledge to the test with a tree identification challenge, and get hands-on with the new Citizen Science tree app. This innovative tool is being rolled out across Abbeyleix, allowing residents and visitors alike to engage with our local environment in a meaningful way.

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a curious learner, or just looking to find out more about what out tree plan, this event is for you. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with our community and the trees that make Abbeyleix special.
We are serious about trees in Abbeyleix and are looking to plant for the future as well as protect what we have. Since 2019, we have planted a significant number of trees, hedges and orchards.
