Featured Project
Magilligan Tree Nursery
Magilligan Tree Nursery helps the community through prison rehabilitation, community and environmental benefits.
Since its launch in 2022, the team have insisted on the ecologically responsible growth and distribution of UK and Ireland-sourced trees. This supports the resilience of native trees by reducing the risk of imported trees bringing disease into the local population.
