Native Tree Trails
Dublin’s parks provide the perfect environment for many of our native trees, which in turn support a number of other species. Native trees have been here for thousands of years and were transported to Ireland through natural means, such as seeds being carried by birds, other animals or on the wind.
We have developed native tree trails in nine parks across the city to help you identify these trees and explore their rich social and natural history.
There are nine Native Tree Trails in Dublin City Council parks. On the Southside, we have four which are located in Bushy Park, Markievicz Park, Ballyfermot, Herbert Park in Ballsbridge and Lansdowne Valley Park, Inchicore.
On the Northside we have five which are located in Poppintree Park, Johnstown, Albert College Park, St Annes Park and Tolka Valley Park.
The trails will help to introduce you to a selection of Ireland's native trees. There are 15 native trees signposts in each park. To find them you can navigate your way around the park using The Native Tree Trail Booklet
