Lucan Sarsfields, in collaboration with the 100 Million Trees Project, make a significant step towards environmental sustainability and community engagement with the GAA Club becoming stewards of the largest mini forest on any sporting site in Dublin community club grounds.
David Mulcahy, co-founder of 100 Million Trees Project, and proud sponsor of this initiative, in conjunction with AIB, said: “At the heart of this initiative lies a shared commitment to the environment and the community, as 2,000 native Irish mini forest trees are set to be planted, transforming a designated area along the Grand Canal in Lucan into a thriving ecosystem.”
“We are thrilled to partner with the powerful 100 Million Trees Project for this fantastic intervention,” said Abby Shiels, Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football Goalkeeper.
“By combining our efforts to plant native Irish trees, we aim to create a lasting impact on the local environment and inspire others to take action for a greener and more sustainable future.”
David Mulcahy added: “The project aims not only to contribute to Ireland’s ambitious afforestation goals but also to foster a sense of community pride and environmental stewardship.”
Linda Bermingham, AIB Branch Manager in Lucan, commented, “As part of our commitment to supporting sustainable communities, AIB has a long-standing relationship with Lucan Sarsfields GAA Club, and we are delighted to support this community initiative. Our team is proud to be involved in the planting of a 2,000 native-variety mini forest at the GAA Club grounds.
