Yesterday, our CEO Bernard Pender & Head of Community, Alan O’Donovan took a trip to Tallaght to meet John Kiberd & Co from Stepping Stone Forests.

Stepping Stone Forests is a community-based project which aims to small, urban, densely planted woodland using native species of trees and shrubs (otherwise known as a “Stepping Stone Forest’). Due to the dense nature of the planting, the trees and shrubs grow very rapidly. This method is inspired by the work of world-renowned botanist Prof. Akira Miyawaki.
