  • Ireland’s Native Trees is a series of short movies funded by Creative Ireland. Different trees have been selected and a short film created focusing on each individual tree species. In each movie, we explore how to identify the tree, what role the tree plays in supporting biodiversity and what the tree does for us - eco-system services. The movie’s are for anyone with an interest in Ireland’s native trees to learn how to identify them and on their importance in the Irish landscape. The movie is shot by Charlie Joe Gallagher in the wonderful Glenveagh National Park and narrated by Aengus Kennedy of NatureNorthWest. This episode explores the Mighty Oak Tree.

    I was working as a landscaper between jobs this summer and rescued a few young oak saplings that my ex colleague was going to pull up out of a flower bed. I took them home in coffee cups and am planning on planting them in the local area in a few years. I found this video looking for some info on our local species and now I'm really excited to see the rest of the videos in the series

    Thank you for making these videos. Well done. We've sowed almost 50 trees over the years , oak among them, in our garden because I'd grown up with a love of trees from my parents.

    Excellent video, great information. I've grown and planted many of these beautiful trees. I would really like to replant these ancient forests. There's nothing stopping a few thousand of us collectively planting massive forests again in Ireland. With govt funding I'd spearhead it without hesitation. Mr Beast accomplished similar in the US.

      Nothing stopping? The Irish government doesn't care about native trees or nature, they care about profit from Sitka spruce that offers nothing for nature. Ireland is devoid of trees and our land is supposed to be an Atlantic rain forest. These forests will never return. You look at Donegal and it's mostly just bog land with no wildlife. Even the golden eagles struggle for food. Donegal was once covered in thick birch forest and oak, sadly humanity is the cause of its disappearance

    Thanks for this. I think a great deal of the info is also good for Scotland. Glad the jays got a mention. They recently appeared in my neighbourhood, and I've noticed more oak seedlings appearing. I think magpies do a bit of acorn caching too, as there are suddenly a dozen wee oaks in my brothers lawn (no squirrels or jays, but a recent influx of magpies).

    What can we do to bring these trees back? Are there many schemes in Ireland to take part in?

    • @zenith7024
      @zenith7024 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your joking right? The government only plants foreign trees for profit, trees that make the area look like a green desert, a desert that is devoid of any wildlife what so ever

      In other eu countries, 2% of forest would be marked as an emergency

    • @buckaroobonzai2909

      It's not that devastating if you consider that human hands can be regenerative as well. Imagine selling land to families if they promised to maintain a hedge of native trees. Then imagine those people move away or abandon the property. THat native hedge will turn into a forest that will grow into the now abandoned field... giving wood to the next settlers and a good hedge.

    • @zenith7024
      @zenith7024 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Irish forests will never return, only Sitka spruce will be planted for profit

    I guess you guys could just start mass planting areas with more trees, right? Why do you guys have so few trees?

    I can’t stand seeing big old beautiful trees smothered in ivy ,, I go out of my way to chop the ivy sometimes

    • @adjjal
      @adjjal 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ivy doesn't actually harm the tree, it's only its weight that could damage a very fragile tree

    This is so depressing, seeing so much barren landscapes. Woodlands are now just handkerchiefs lying across the countryside

      the sheep isn´t guilty, it´s the shepard....did You know, there are sheep breeds, who don´t bite trees, even not joung ones? And did You know, the´re known in Ireland?

    • @jayuppercase3398
      @jayuppercase3398 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Deer are the issue, to stop speed from damaging a tree all you need is a 3 foot tree guard and to plant the trees when they are big enough. Sheep farms are actually perfect for planting trees
