Location of the Millennium Forests
Over 1,200,000 native Irish saplings were planted in the Millennium Forests. All of the young trees were grown from seeds collected in native Irish woodlands. The new forests are fully stocked and are growing vigorously. It will take over 100 years before the young Millennium woodlands reach maturity. As the woodlands grow natural thinning will continuously take place. This will mean that only a small proportion of the original saplings planted will reach maturity. We would encourage you, your family and future generations to visit the forest where your household tree was planted and monitor how your forest is growing.
