Ballina Community Cleanup Group, in association with Ballina 2023 , is launching an ambitious project that will leave a positive, healthy legacy for our town long into the future. We plan to work with the community of Ballina to plant a minimum of one native broadleaf tree for each person in the town by the end of 2023!

That’s currently 10,171 trees (subject to change based on the 2022 Census)

In planting these trees we are aiming to do the following:

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Improve the quality of Ballina’s air, especially in the town centre

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Draw carbon from the atmosphere and do our bit to address the climate emergency ​

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Help develop of vibrant biodiversity corridors in the town centre

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Contribute to Ballina’s aim to become Ireland’s Greenest Town by 2025

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Prevent flooding

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of the people of Ballina – trees are proven to help!

•​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Make Ballina even more beautiful!

​ If you would like to make a financial contribution to the purchase of trees for this initiative please provide your details in the following form.
