Join Us Creating Irelands Next Generation Native Woodlands

A CoolPartner membership helps restore Irish forests, protect biodiversity, and power real climate action.

Ireland’s Native Woodlands Are Disappearing

Ireland once had 80% native forest cover

Today, only just over 1% remains. Habitat loss, land pressure, and climate change are placing enormous stress on our ecosystems.

Biodiversity Is Under Threat

Birds, pollinators, mammals, and ancient woodland plants are declining fast. Without intervention, more species will disappear.

Climate Change Is Making the Crisis Worse

Ireland is already seeing the impacts of a rapidly changing climate:

  • More frequent and intense storms damaging woodland canopies

  • Flooding that erodes soils and drowns young seedlings

  • Summer droughts stressing oak, birch, hazel, and other native species

  • Warmer winters allowing pests and invasive species to spread

  • Disrupted breeding seasons for birds, insects, and mammals

Climate change multiplies every existing pressure. Restoring native woodlands is one of Ireland’s most powerful natural defences.

Joining Means More New Native Woodlands 

We understand how overwhelming climate change and biodiversity loss can feel. That’s why we work directly with ecologists, Foresters, landowners, and communities to create the next generation of native woodlands in Ireland supported directly by our CoolPartners.

CoolPartners Support

  • Native woodland creation

  • Habitat protection for birds, mammals & pollinators

  • Ecologist‑led biodiversity monitoring

Benefits To Your Brand

  • Brand Differentiation That Increases Customer Trust

    60–70% of consumers prefer brands that show real environmental responsibility (Deloitte 2024 CSR Survey).

    Benefit to your business:

    Being a CoolPartner gives you tangible proof of climate action: acres protected, trees planted, biodiversity restored.

    You can promote verified, measurable environmental impact.

    This leads to higher customer trust, stronger brand loyalty, and better conversion rates—especially in ESG-aware markets.

  • Enhanced Marketing & PR Opportunities

    Companies that participate in sustainability programmes generate up to 20% more positive media mentions (Edelman Trust Report 2023).

    ✔ Benefit to your business:

    Cloudforests frequently features CoolPartners in marketing, social media, and on-site signage.

    You can use the story in:

    Website ESG sections

    Sales proposals

    Press releases

    Social content

    It provides credible and repeatable marketing material that elevates your brand’s perceived value.

  • Employee Engagement & Talent Attraction

    Younger employees are 2–3 times more likely to work for companies with real environmental commitments (LinkedIn Workplace Trends 2024).

    ✔ Benefit to your business:

    Cloudforests offers site visits, tree-planting days, and real physical locations where employees can see impact.

    Staff feel pride and connection to the mission.

    Helps with:

    Retention

    Recruitment

    Employer branding

    In industries with high turnover, this delivers real savings

  • Supports ESG, Tendering, and Compliance Requirements

    Irish and EU procurement increasingly rewards measurable sustainability activity (EU CSRD & GPP Guidance 2024).

    ✔ Benefit to your business:

    Cloudforests provides quantifiable impact data, such as:

    Trees planted

    Carbon capture projections

    Biodiversity improvements

    These can be submitted directly into:

    Tenders

    Annual reports

    ESG disclosures

    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) statements

    This strengthens your ability to win contracts.

  • Networking & Partnerships With Other Businesses

    Business networks built around shared values generate higher referral and partnership rates (Harvard Business Review).

    ✔ Benefit to your business:

    CoolPartners get access to a community of likeminded companies.

    This often leads to:

    New business introductions

    Joint sustainability events

    Co-marketing opportunities

    This creates real pipeline value, not just feel-good value.

  • Demonstrable Local Impact (not vague international environmental support)

    Customers and partners increasingly distrust carbon offsets from abroad.

    ✔ Benefit to your business:

    Cloudforests is local, Irish, physical, verifiable.
    You can bring clients or investors to the forests to show real impact.

    This adds:

    Credibility

    Transparency

    Tangibility

    Studies show that local, visible environmental projects deliver 3–5× more brand trust than overseas credits.

  • Native woodlands are forests made up of species that have grown naturally in Ireland for thousands of years—such as oak, birch, hazel, rowan, holly, and Scots pine. These habitats support Ireland’s richest biodiversity and are essential for healthy soils, clean water, carbon storage, and climate resilience. Restoring native woodlands brings back ecosystems that once covered most of the island.Description text goes here

  • Native woodlands are one of Ireland’s most powerful natural climate solutions. They store carbon, cool the landscape, slow flooding, reduce erosion, and protect biodiversity—nature’s frontline against climate instability. By restoring and protecting these habitats, your membership strengthens Ireland’s resilience to storms, droughts, and other climate-related threats.

  • Woodland restoration is a long-term commitment.

    • After 5–10 years, young woodland begins to establish.

    • After 20 years, structure and wildlife improve significantly.

    • A fully mature woodland can take 80–100+ years, depending on species.

    Your membership helps begin a legacy that lasts generations.

  • Natural losses are expected, and some disturbance can even benefit biodiversity. However, we monitor sites carefully and intervene when needed—removing invasives, supporting regeneration, or replanting in targeted areas.

  • Yes, memberships are recurring—either monthly or annually—for your convenience.
    You can cancel at any time with a single click. There are no obligations or long-term commitments. Your support lasts only as long as you choose.

  • Yes. Members receive priority invitations to virtual woodland walks, seasonal updates from the field, and selected in-person events. Because many sites are ecologically sensitive, access is managed carefully to protect habitats and wildlife—but we offer opportunities for meaningful connection with the landscapes you support.

  • Members receive regular updates throughout the year, including:

    • quarterly reports

    • seasonal woodland progress updates

    • photo and video stories from ecologists and field teams

    • new project announcements
      You’ll always know how your support is making an impact.

  • Ireland’s native woodlands support an incredible range of species, many of which are declining nationally. Your membership helps protect:

    • red squirrels

    • pine martens

    • barn owls

    • long-eared bats

    • woodpeckers (in areas where they’re returning)

    • butterflies, bees, and woodland pollinators

    • native tree and understory plants
      Healthy woodlands create entire ecosystems that benefit thousands of interconnected species.

  • Native woodlands:

    • rich in biodiversity

    • naturally adapted to Irish soils and climate

    • support wildlife, pollinators, and healthy ecosystems

    Commercial forestry:

    • typically monoculture (mainly Sitka spruce)

    • harvested on rotation

    • lower biodiversity

    • often acidic, dark, and unsuitable for native species

    Both have a place, but only native woodlands restore Ireland’s natural heritage.

  • We follow ecological best practices and are committed to transparency. Our projects are all Forest Service approved and licensed by the Irish Government, and we provide regular reports so members can see exactly how their support is making an impact. Independent assessments and external partnerships strengthen our accountability. Especially in our Carbon Verification through Origin Xero
