A news piece written about
our memorial trees
An Irish approach to
Memorial trees
"When people think of
Ireland, the think of how green and beautiful, it is, the rugged
scenery. However few people actually realise that Ireland is the
least wooded country in Europe.
After the Republic
Of Ireland, achieved independence in 1921, a concerted effort
was made to roll back the effects of colonial exploitation of our
resources. One company in Cork, has decided to do something about it
as well. Gift of Ireland, has launched an Irish Oak tree planting
project in Co. Cork, in a bid to preserve our woods. To make the
project self financing the trees are being offered as a unique
remembrance gift - an Irish
Memorial tree, currently being sold to people all over
the world. The tree is planted on site in Ireland, while a photo and
personalised certificate are mailed to the Tree buyer. Danny
Sheahan, the project leader, says" We wanted to do something, that
celebrates Irelands woodland heritage and to ensure that it was
there for generations to come".
On the website there is a quote
from proverbs " it is a tree of life". Deirdre, the Co-ordinator
says " we felt that this summed up what the tree mean to us and our
customers, the represent the love and joy of a life well lived".
Most of the tree sold so far have been to Irish Americans, using it
as a living irish memorial, to a departed loved one. The poignant
testimonials bear witness to how much comfort this unique
remembrance gift can bring to a family memorial tree irish
memorial."
Why not have your own memorial
tree planted in Ireland. We in Gift of Ireland intend to keep
on planting memorial trees in
Ireland
Our memorial tree programme was partially inspired
by:
Ringfinnan Garden of Remembrance
Kinsale Garden of Remembrance trees is in
honour of the memory of Fr. Michael Judge, Chaplain in the New
York Fire Department and his colleagues, 343 brave fire fighters,
who so courageously lost their lives in New York on September 11th
2001.
The Kinsale Garden of Remembrance was thought of by
Kathleen Murphy, a nurse in New York City. She was born in
Ringfinnan, Kinsale and her family continue to reside there. The
first memorial tree planting ceremony took place in November 2001
and this was followed by an official memorial dedication of the
garden on 10th March 2002 by the then Minister for Agriculture &
Food, Joe Walsh, T.D.
Many of the Firefighters who gave there
life that day, were of Irish descent, and a memorial tree is an
ideal way to honour and their bravery. A Memorial tree to their
bravery and to show that their homeland is proud of them.
To
get to Ringfinnan from Kinsale, go past the Trident Hotel along the
road road running parallel with the Bandon River in the direction of
Cannon Duggan Bridge. At the bridge, turn left and go over the
bridge, then take a right turn. After 200 yards, turn right up the
hill to Ringfinnan following the signpost plant a memorial tree in
ireland, buy a memorial tree, memorial trees for loved ones as an
irish gift or irish gifts or as an irish memorial. memorial trees
are the ideal irish memorial trees, as are memorial trees
