National Tree Day – Scots Pine Spotlight

2nd Oct 2025
Today, October 2nd, we celebrated National Tree Day in Ireland – a day to recognise the importance of trees in our environment and to encourage greater awareness of nature among young people.

A big thank you to Ewan Brooks Griffin and Luca O’Donovan, who visited classrooms to speak about this year’s chosen tree – the Scots Pine. They shared interesting facts about its role in Ireland’s natural heritage and helped pupils understand why protecting native trees is so important.

Ewan and Luca showed great leadership and confidence in delivering their message, and their efforts were appreciated by pupils and staff alike.

Well done, boys, for helping to make National Tree Day meaningful and memorable at Scoil na mBuachaillí.
