The Sligo Tree Trail was launched during National Tree Week 2024.
Thank you to the students of Sligo Grammar School and Summerhill College for joining us for a stroll on a beautiful Spring day.
The Sligo Tree Trail is developed in collaboration with the Sligo Sports Recreation Partnership.
The trail is a 2.6 km loop around Sligo town and includes trees at locations such as Sligo County Library, City Hall, Sligo Cathedral, Sligo Abbey, and along the banks of the Garavogue.
There are 15 points on the trail and we want to develop information sheets for each point. The information sheets will have content on the species of the tree, interesting points about biodiversity related to the tree, tree folklore, and uses of the tree.
We also want to include social stories on the information sheets and invite submissions for consideration. For example, was there a point on the trail that marks an important memory such as a gathering point for friends or family.
