Ideas worth spreading

How To Restore a Billion Trees to Ireland by 2031

Gerhardt Gallagher • TEDxCrannTreesforIreland

At the start of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration we look at the challenge of Restoring a Billion Trees to Ireland within 10 years. Where would we plant, what are the logistics involved and what would Ireland look like compared to our European neighbours when we were finished? What do we have to do first? - the conclusion may surprise you; our speaker admitted to us as he was preparing his plan that it surprised him too.
