I am writing on behalf of the Cork Branch of the IWT to ask if anyone would like their name to be added to the Cork Branch email list. This is a list where there is no charge but information is sent out on IWT events and other points of interest with regard to wildlife.
We are a voluntary group which started in 2007. Our aims are to encourage and educate people living in the Cork region on wildlife issues. We do not charge for membership as we take the view that an interest in wildlife is of fundamental importance. We only charge where there is a charge placed on us to organise an event.
Our next event is the 27th Sept in Glenbower Wood where we will be identifying mushcooms. Places must be reserved for this event. There is no charge. In October a group of us will visit Killarney NP and listen to the rutting of the deer and in November a whalewatching day.
If you would like your name on the list please reply to this email.
Thank you for your time.
Best wishes

Subject: HERITAGE TREE HUNT
Dear All,
A survey of the Heritage Trees of Ireland is being undertaken by the
Tree Council of Ireland in association with, and part-funded by, The
Heritage Council, Crann and The Irish Tree Society. We are looking for
help in finding out about as many trees as possible and would be
extremely grateful if you could tell us about any you know of and
forward this to as many people as possible. For example, historical
societies, archaeological groups, community groups, environmental
groups.
A heritage tree can be defined as one of cultural, ecological or
historical interest because of its age, size or condition. The project
is being undertaken as an extension of the Tree Register of Ireland
which is a record of Ireland's Champion Trees.
We want our heritage and ancient trees to survive as long as possible
and to do this we need to protect them. The only way we can do this is
to know where they are. We need to find them, map them, photograph them
and record them.
We want to hear about giant, important, mysterious, sacred, historical,
fabulous, bizarre-looking or ancient trees, and generally trees with a
story! There are all sorts of trees that would qualify for inclusion,
for example: rag trees; hanging trees; trees at holy wells, military
trees (planted in military formation to commemorate battles); those of
exceptional girth, height or age; any associated with historical events,
people or structures; and those which are important to a community.
Some of the most well-known examples are the 'Hungry' Tree at King's
Inns, Dublin which is a London plane that appears to be consuming a
bench; Lady Gregory's 'Autograph' Tree at Coole Park, South Galway, a
copper beech which has been signed by WB Yeats, his brother Jack, George
Bernard Shaw, the poet John Masefield, Sean O'Casey and other famous
people.
However, not all heritage trees are so dramatic; they can, in fact, be
quite unremarkable in appearance. For example, a lone hawthorn tree has
been included in the survey as it marks the summit of Freestone Hill,
Co. Kilkenny and folklore prevents its removal.
If anyone has information on any trees like these we would be delighted
to hear from you!
You can contact us on the website, www.treecouncil.ie or email Kate
Crane: cranoggin@eircom.net or telephone: 01 4931313 (Tree Council of
Ireland).
I have attached a short document with examples of some the trees we have
recorded so far with pictures just to give an idea of the type of things
we are looking for.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,
Kate Crane
