Tree Nursery
Please note that the tree nursery is now closed. It will re-open for orders in October 2008.
Originally
established in 1985 within the four-acre walled garden on the Clandeboye
Estate, Bangor, Co. Down, our tree nursery sells around 200,000
trees per year. The proceeds from these sales help to support other
work by Conservation Volunteers Northern Ireland.
Visit our Managing for Biodiversity pages for tree-related information and advice.
In the tree nursery, our aim is to grow local provenance trees grown in the nursery from seeds collected by volunteers from the remaining native woodlands in Northern Ireland. Those trees that we cannot grow ourselves are sourced from other suitable UK provenances.
We stock different sizes of trees from seedlings (20cm tall) to well-developed 'feathers' of 2m or more. Other sizes and species can be ordered by request.
In addition to native trees and shrubs, we stock some long-established non-native trees and all the accessories you will need to help your young trees establish themselves after you have planted them, including:
- mulch mats
- stakes and ties
- tree shelters and guards
