Scéalta na gCrann
Monday, March 10th at 11am
Béimid ag cur in aithne na crainn dúchasach atá gníomhach ag an am seo don bhliain, na próiseas a bhfuil ag cabhrú leo bheith ag fás agus na scéalta a thugann said dúinn.
We will be discussing Ireland’s native trees, the natural processes that help them to grow and the stories that they have to tell us.
Tá an imeacht seo dírithe ar dhaltaí bunscoile sínsearach, ach beidh rud le foghlaim agus taineamh le bhaint do gach duine. Fáilte roimh chách.

Track the Trees Webinar
Wednesday, March 12 at 11 am
We are delighted to celebrate Tree Week this year with this interactive webinar to launch a Tree Height Challenge. Who can find and measure the tallest tree?! Hear from GLOBE Ireland about how to use the GLOBE Observer app to measure tree height and from LEAF Ireland for a slightly less accurate (but extremely fun!) way to estimate height. Plus, learn how trees provide many benefits to us as they grow and much more!

Competition
GLOBE Ireland Tree Height Challenge
Check out the resource sheet to find out how to get involved in this Nationwide Challenge to measure the height of the tallest tree in your school or community. The challenge is open to everyone so feel free to share it with your friends and family – every measurement submitted will be entered into a random draw for a One 4 All voucher. We’ll also have a prize for the tallest tree recorded!
Activities
Discover the Age and Height of a Tree
This way of measuring the height of a tree is a little less accurate than using the GLOBE app but it’s a lot of fun!
Investigate the Carbon Content of a Tree
We all know that trees absorb carbon dioxide, but how much? Find out with this activity.
