About Crann
Who we are
Crann ‘Trees for Ireland’ was formed in 1986 by Jan Alexander, with the aim of “Releafing Ireland”.
Crann is Ireland’s leading voluntary tree organisation dedicated to the promotion and protection of our trees, hedgerows and woodlands.
It is a membership-based, non profit registered charity (CHY13698) uniting people with a love of trees.
Crann is now probably best known for its high quality Crann magazine and for the Crann ‘Tidy Towns Assist Programme’ and the numerous school visits we provide through the Crann ‘Bring a Tree to School’ Programme.
