We have established the only organic native tree nursery in Ireland, where we grow genetically resilient trees for sale and supply throughout the Island of Ireland.

Hometree began in a small community garden project in winter 2014, where we saw how important it was for people to connect with nature. In spring, 2021, we got the ‘keys’ to our current headquarter site in Ennistymon, Co. Clare.

Hometree is a nature restoration charity, based in the west of Ireland. We work to establish and restore resilient habitats, focusing on native temperate rainforests. Our approach integrates community, culture, science and natural systems.

Our offices and nursery are now open again following a well-deserved winter break.

We return to 2026 with renewed energy, fresh inspiration, and a strong programme of work ahead. We are looking forward to building on last year’s momentum and continuing to grow from strength to strength.

With the team now established, Hometree and its partners are looking forward to building momentum in the months ahead and embedding the project in the landscape and communities of Iveragh.

The past month has marked an exciting new phase for the project, with the full team now in place and getting to grips with their roles. Much of the early work has focused on building the foundations, putting systems, documentation, and equipment in place to get the project running.

Hometree is thrilled to announce that Iveragh Woodlands EIP team takes shape!

Our team is collecting Downey birch seeds from our alley cropping rows. These salt adapted Downey birch trees where planted as saplings in 2020 from seed collected from a woodland fragment on the hyper oceanic North Atlantic coast.
