The Sisters in Greenhills, Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary were joined by Sodexo Staff and students from Scoil Mhuire Secondary School Environmental Club in planting 1,200 trees on April 10th. Co-founder of the 100m Trees Project Dr. David Mulcahy and two professional foresters assisted with the planting.

Thankfully the rain stayed away for the planting of the saplings that were supplied free of charge by the 100m Trees Project. Many native tree species were planted. The morning of hard work digging and planting ended with all the workers enjoying tea, sandwiches and scones back at the convent. It was a great social event with the serious goal of improving the environment. Dr. Mulcahy thanked the Sisters for giving over part of their grounds for the planting of the 1,200 saplings, which will soon grow to become a beautiful mini-forest for the birds, bees and other wildlife to hang out.
