Macroom & District Environmental Group (MDEG) will celebrate National Tree Week 2026 with a guided walk through Macroom Castle demesne to meet one of the most iconic veteran trees in Ireland, The Muskerry Oak, a huge girth champion.

Heritage specialist Ted Cook and ecologist Laura McCarthy will highlight the history of the demesne as witnessed by the Muskerry Oak, measure it's circumference and discuss the importance of woodland habitats.

All welcome, visit to the oak granted with kind permission from the landowner, no dogs.

Join us for a relaxed and engaging 5.5 km guided walk through one of Ireland’s most beautiful native woodlands as part of National Tree Week. Taking place in the stunning Vale of Clara, this springtime walk will introduce you to our native trees - such as oak, birch, and holly - and show you how to recognise them by their winter buds, bark, and overall form, while exploring their importance in ecology, folklore, and Irish culture.

Led by Dr Kamila Kwasniewska, botanist and experienced hiking guide, this gentle two-hour walk is a chance to slow down and truly connect with the woodland as it awakens for the season. Keep an eye out for red squirrels busy in the canopy, listen for the rhythmic tapping of woodpeckers, and watch for red kites circling overhead.

📅 Date: 8th March
⏰ Time: 10:00 am
⏳ Duration: Approx. 2 hours
💶 Cost: €12.50 per person
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Suitable for all levels | Family-friendly | Dogs welcome on lead

Come along to explore, learn, and celebrate Ireland’s native trees in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

After booking, you will receive an email with directions to the meeting point and practical tips to help you prepare for the walk.

National Tree Week is celebrated in Altamont Gardens with a series of guided tours around their fabulous tree collection.

The estate gains much of its character from its many mature trees, both natives in the woodland areas, and exotic specimens throughout the gardens including the Swamp Cypress, Red Oak and Giant Redwood.

We are a local charity and want to plant trees along the Greenway canal, either involving the local school or community volunteers. We would like to plant a couple of hundred trees . However our local distributor at Belvedete house , through whom we were to apply directly (according to Westmeath Co Council) have not been promised any saplings and have not responded to my request. So, it's no trees then!
