Reference excerpt

The Tree Council of Ireland is a non-profit environmental organisation in Ireland. It was established in 1985 with the purpose of promoting the planting, establishment, and conservation of trees and woodlands throughout Ireland. A voluntary organisation, the Tree Council acts as an umbrella group, bringing together bodies that share a common interest in trees and that work towards achieving the objectives of the Council. The council does not receive any financial support from the government.

Activities The activities of the Tree Council include the annual organisation of National Tree Week in March and National Tree Day on the first Thursday of October. Additionally, the Tree Council operates a Tree Sponsorship Scheme which enables someone to commemorate a special event, remember a loved one or give the gift of a tree by providing an opportunity to have a tree planted in their name. The Tree Council is also a strong supporter of the Supervalu Tidy Towns competition sponsoring the Tree Project Award to the value of €1,000 which promotes the planting of The Right Tree in the Right Place.

Funding The Tree Council is a non-profit organisation which does not receive any financial support from the government. Instead, it relies on support from various sources to continue its voluntary work. The sources of support include Friends of the Tree Council, annual subscriptions from member organisations, funds from its tree sponsorship scheme, revenue from its publications, and donations from the public. Equally, an increasing number of companies are collaborating with the Tree Council as they acknowledge the multiple advantages of associating with an environmentally positive organisation with the potential and enthusiasm to accomplish its goals. By doing so, these companies are not only displaying responsible corporate behaviour but also contributing to the development of a better social and cultural environment for trees and woodlands in Ireland. Collaborating with the Easy Treesie project, the Tree Council of Ireland is working towards the goal of planting a million trees with Ireland's one million school children and their communities. The project is a response to the challenge by Felix Finkbeiner, founder of Plant-for-the-Planet, to the children of the world to plant a million trees in every country as a symbolic and practical act promoting Climate Justice. The project commenced with a pilot project in 2017-2019 and expanded with a national initiative held with Science Foundation Ireland where 30,000 trees were planted nationwide during National Science Week in November 2019. GAA Green Clubs have contributed to achieving this challenge since 2020. The Easy Treesie project presented its 100,000th tree to President Michael D. Higgins in 2021.

Tree Register of Ireland The Tree Register of Ireland (TROI) is a database of Irish trees containing over 10,000 entries. Its compilation was initiated in 1999 by the Tree Council of Ireland and the Irish Tree Society. It contains various details on select trees including their height, girth and location. It was compiled on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The Heritage Tree Register of Ireland is an extension of the Tree Register of Ireland. It is funded by the Irish Heritage Council, the Tree Council of Ireland, the Irish Tree Society and Crann. To qualify for inclusion on the registry a tree must be considered to be of biological, cultural, ecological or historical interest because of its age, size or condition. In order to keep it reasonably up to date, ideally, 10% of the database should be re-measured every year. However, the updating of this valuable tree resource is restricted due to a lack of funding. The Register is expanding at a rate of approximately 1,000 trees each year.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tree Council of Ireland

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tree Council of Ireland claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tree Council of Ireland before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tree Council of Ireland ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tree Council of Ireland

In research: Tree Council of Ireland appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tree Council of Ireland in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tree Council of Ireland is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Conservation in the Republic of Ireland, Forestry in Ireland, Trees, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tree Council of Ireland outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
