The Irish Times is looking for readers to nominate Ireland’s Greenest Places, which they believe deserve to be recognised for their projects - big or small.
- Is your town planting bee-friendly bulbs or native trees?
- Is your suburb encouraging cycling and walking with better cycle paths or pedestrianisation?
- Is your community letting green spaces grow wild or using non-toxic weed solutions?
- Is your village helping younger people to understand the nature around them?
You can nominate a suburb, village, town or community across Ireland’s 32 counties for any of their wide-ranging efforts to improve our environment.
How can I nominate a place?
