Armagh Robinson Library and No 5 Vicars\u2019 Hill are pleased to take part in the initiative \u2018Bugs, Bees and Native Trees\u2019.  This initiative supports young people and adults to address issues, even in small ways, of the environment, biodiversity and climate change by planting trees and undertaking other environmental projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the initiative, two rowan trees were planted in the garden of No 5 by Archbishop John McDowell and pupils from the Drelincourt School, Armagh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop is Chairman of both the Library\u2019s Governors and Guardians and Drelincourt\u2019s Board of Governors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the tree-planting, the Archbishop said, \u201cWe are reminded again and again that there are fewer trees per acre throughout the island of Ireland than in any other country in Europe. Trees are one of the great protections against global warming because of their ability to soak up carbon dioxide. While this is a modest contribution to the whole initiative, I am glad that the Library, No 5 and Drelincourt have all participated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Eileen Trew, Principal of the Drelincourt School, said, \u201cEducation is about preparing children for the future, but if we do not avert the climate crisis, that future for our children is at risk. Planting trees makes a difference and we are delighted to be involved in this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is open to schools, youth, community and church groups and the native trees are sourced locally from Mr Sean Vallely.  Groups are encouraged to participate by going to www.bugsbeesandnativetrees.com<\/a>  or by contacting the Church of Ireland\u2019s Armagh Diocesan Youth and Children\u2019s Officer, Mr David Brown, doycarmagh@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
