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?

Below is find a simple form that allows you to enter a short “pitch” of up to 300 words for your nominee for best green place, in association with Electric Ireland.
