Tree Trail Walk and Talk In Monkstown

Monkstown Village is very fortunate to be surrounded by spectacular trees of many varieties. In 2022, Monkstown Village Tidy District launched our Tree Trail, a self-guided loop walk which brings you past forty different species – most of the native Irish trees, many of the main introduced species and some specimen or unusual trees. The trail is set out in an attractive leaflet with some information on each of the species.

As part of Heritage Week, we’d be delighted if you’d like to join us on Sunday 24th for a guided walk round the Western part of the Tree Trail.

Sunday’s walk will be led by Charles Shier who provided all the technical information for the Tree trail leaflet and has led walks for us before.

Charles will lead the walk along Monkstown Road towards Belgrave Square and will show you all the interesting points about the different trees and answer any questions you have. The walk is suitable for all, regardless of how much or little knowledge you have and you’ll get a copy of the Tree Trail leaflet to take away.

This free event is co-funded by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and Community Foundation Ireland.

We look forward to having you join us.
