On Monday, 4 March, European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness will help get National Tree Week off to a great start by planting 1,000 native trees in Kilternan, Co Dublin, with children from Kilternan Church of Ireland National School, ambassadors from a number of EU countries, and European Commission staff. This event is also part of the European Commission’s #3BillionTrees Pledge to plant at least 3 billion additional trees in the EU by 2030, and the EU’s new For Our Planet campaign which aims to encourage citizens and civil society to take action for our planet, including by planting trees.
