Coillte, as a proud supporting partner of Rowing Ireland, has commemorated the achievement of eight Irish boats qualifying for the Olympics and Paralympics by planting eight native Irish oak trees in Farran Forest Park, Co. Cork.
The planting comes ahead of the highly anticipated 2024 Irish Rowing Championships, which will kick off this Friday, July 12th, at the National Rowing Centre, Farran Woods.
The native Irish oak, historically significant in boat building, symbolises the strength and heritage of Irish rowing and underscores Coillte’s ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.
The ceremonial tree planting was attended by Bernard Burke, Regional Area Manager of Coillte, alongside 2023 Junior Female Rower of the Year, Holly Davis (Lee Valley RC), and Men’s Senior Athlete, Andrew Sheehan (UCC RC).
In further celebration of this partnership and the exciting summer schedule of competitive rowing, Coillte and Rowing Ireland are offering families a chance on their social media channels to win aa trip to Beyond the Trees Avondale at Avondale Forest Park, Co. Wicklow.
Sport for Business will host a special Breakfast in Galway on July 25th, looking at the realm of Fan Engagement. This is one of many events planned for the remainder of 2024.
