Ireland’s ancient rainforest vanished after thousands of years of human activity. Now nearly 30,000 trees are being planted to bring it back
- Almost 30,000 young native trees have been planted at Lenamore Wood in Northern Ireland, marking the beginning of a restoration project that could take a century to mature.
- Oak, alder and rowan now cover parts of the 41-acre site near Gortin, though the future woodland is still difficult to picture.
- The trees remain small, sheltered inside protective tubes and surrounded by open ground.
