John - Nurturing Nature.
John, a 15th generation Farmer, has the soil of Ireland running through his veins. A true outdoorsman ( he calls himself Free Range!) and a man who holds huge value in Nature and the protection and development of the environment. Bob has planted 10s of 1000s of trees over his lifetime as a landscape gardener in his earlier years, as a landowner and in his role as founder of IrishTress.ie.

John has a deep love for the land and the nature that inhabits it, he rares many animals and birds as pets for his young family and loves nothing more than working and walking the land.

Irish Trees is led by Bob Hamilton and John Doran, supported by a growing team bringing together expertise in ecology, zoology, botany and nature science, alongside graduate specialists, interns and researchers.
Working across The Lakeside Woodland near Naul and within the remarkable rewilding landscape at Dunsany Estate, the team combines practical restoration on the ground with science, monitoring and a deep understanding of the landscapes we work within.
We don’t just plant trees. We help restore the ecosystems around them — creating more space for nature to recover and thrive.
There are few mature trees in Ireland, let alone of native species.
Including hedgerows, motorway plantations, and birch mono-cultures, less than 2% of the State is covered in native trees.
Given the overwhelmingly positive role native hardwood trees play in flood control, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, water filtration, soil fertility security, and well-being, there are increasing calls to raise native afforestation rates. We can all contribute to this cause. A legacy that will outlive us all!
