When Crann Phadraig was established in 1989 the hope was to foster a community spirit by encouraging local schools, clubs and community groups, to plant trees provided by Crann Phadraig, to enhance the community of Skerries.

Today, and over 1000 trees planted later, that hope has become a reality. Members of the community of Skerries have embraced this idea and have planted trees in and around the town of Skerries. In so doing, we continue not only to cultivate beautiful native trees, but also a greater awareness of our eco system and a respect of nature.

Recently Crannn Phadraig were delighted to be the sponsors of the Green Schools Network launch that took place on April 27th at Skerries Mill.

Our tree nursery at Ardla, near Skerries is a partnership between Crann Phadraig and Fingal County Council. We have received a number of awards over the years, including the National and Fingal County Council Environmental awards, for our work in raising awareness of native trees.

Crann Phadraig is a voluntary organisation and has received sponsorship from Iarnrod Eireann, E.S.B. and Eircom, as well as various individuals.
