LIVING WOODLANDS ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Living Woodlands Ecosystem Restoration Company Limited by Guarantee is an award‑winning non‑profit social enterprise dedicated to re‑wilding Ireland’s towns and villages. Founded by brothers Colm and John Galvin in 2022, the organisation works with schools, local councils and community groups to transform under‑used spaces into thriving Biodiversity Havens – native woodlands, fruit‑guild orchards, hedgerows and other complex ecosystems that support pollinators, birds and wildlife while enhancing human well‑being.

Their core services include site assessment, co‑creation design, planting and soil‑health workshops, as well as ongoing stewardship and educational programmes. Living Woodlands also offers bespoke sponsorship packages for businesses and organises regular *meitheal* planting days for volunteers. Every project is rooted in the principle that healthy soil captures carbon, mitigates flooding and builds climate resilience, creating a network of interconnected green spaces across the country.

By partnering with communities throughout Ireland, Living Woodlands is weaving flourishing wild spaces into the heart of everyday life, inviting anyone who wishes to restore nature, learn about sustainable ecosystems or simply get their hands dirty to join the movement.
