Eco Gifts With Irish Roots: Plant a Native Tree on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way
For millions of people across the United States, Ireland isn’t just a place on the map — it’s a story passed down through generations. A grandmother’s accent. A family name. A county that still feels like home, even if you've never walked its rugged coastline.
At Cloudforests, we help you reconnect with that heritage in a meaningful, lasting way. By planting a native Irish tree as a gift, you’re not only supporting Ireland’s ecological restoration — you’re giving someone a living connection to Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, one of the most breathtaking coastlines in the world.
And unlike digital-only gifting platforms, we send a beautifully crafted physical card to the recipient, letting them know a tree now grows in their name in the land of their ancestors.
A Gift That Grows on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way
Cloudforests’ ecological restoration sites are located across two of Ireland’s most storied coastal counties:
🌿 County Clare
Home to the Cliffs of Moher, Loop Head, and the windswept Atlantic landscapes that have inspired music, poetry, and generations of emigrants. Clare is where many Irish families began their journey to America.
🌲 County Kerry
Known for its mountains, ancient forests, and wild coastline, Kerry has always been a symbol of Ireland’s untouched beauty. Planting a tree here means contributing to the return of native woodlands that once covered the region.
🌳 NEW: Querrin Forest on the Shannon Estuary
Our latest gift-tree forest is located at Querrin in West Clare, overlooking the serene Shannon Estuary — Ireland’s longest river and a historic departure point for emigrants heading to the United States.
For Irish-Americans, the Shannon holds deep symbolism. It carried people, stories, songs, and traditions out into the world.
Now, your gift helps restore the shores they once left.
Why Irish-Americans Love This Eco Gift
A tree planted on Ireland’s west coast is more than a sustainable gesture — it’s a personal connection back to heritage, identity, and home.
❤️ For Birthdays
A unique way to celebrate someone who is proud of their Irish roots.
🌿 For Memorials
Planting a tree on ancestral soil becomes a deeply meaningful tribute to loved ones who carried Ireland in their hearts.
🎁 For Family Milestones
Weddings, anniversaries, new babies — every life event becomes part of an unfolding Irish legacy.
✈️ For Americans Who Have Visited (or Dream of Visiting) Ireland
Planting a tree along the Wild Atlantic Way is a beautiful keepsake for travelers or those planning their first trip.
A Real Card, A Real Forest, A Real Impact
When you give a Cloudforests eco-gift:
We plant a native Irish tree in Clare or Kerry
The forest is managed for life, creating biodiverse habitats
The recipient receives a physical card by mail, celebrating the gift
Your tree becomes part of Ireland’s ecological future
This is a gift that feels genuine, personal, and rooted in the land of Irish ancestors.
Why County Clare & County Kerry Matter
These two counties have some of the highest emigration histories in Ireland. For many Americans, tracing their ancestry leads straight back to Clare’s windswept peninsula or Kerry’s majestic coastal valleys.
When you plant a Cloudforests tree:
You help restore Ireland’s native woodland
You contribute to biodiversity on protected lands
You create a long-lasting symbol of home, heritage, and hope
And with your gift tree forest now expanding into Querrin on the Shannon Estuary, there has never been a more meaningful place to plant roots — literally.
Give a Gift That Brings Ireland Closer
For Americans with Irish ancestry, this is more than an eco-friendly choice — it’s a connection to the stories, landscapes, and families that shaped who they are.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, honoring a loved one, or marking a milestone, planting a native Irish tree along the Wild Atlantic Way is a gift that grows with time.
From the Atlantic winds of Clare to the rolling hills of Kerry, your gift becomes part of Ireland’s living legacy.
