All about Trees are proud to be part of Ireland’s Just Transition journey. With the support of a Just Transition grant from Pobal, we are currently renovating our outbuildings to create new facilities that will strengthen our team, expand our services, and bring lasting benefits to the Midlands. The renovations will provide: Staff Accommodation – ensuring our employees have comfortable and affordable housing, especially those travelling from outside the area. A Training Room – dedicated space to upskill our workforce and provide learning opportunities for those seeking new careers in arboricultural management. A Modern Office – enabling us to grow our operations and better serve our clients across the Midlands and beyond. Supporting Communities in Transition As traditional industries such as turf cutting come to an end, families across the Midlands face real challenges. Our project aims to turn this change into opportunity. By creating sustainable, long-term jobs in tree surgery and arboriculture, we are: Offering new employment opportunities to those affected by the decline of peat-related work. As part of this objected we have endeavoured to ensure that all building contractors and services related to the building, planning and delivery are delivered using local businesses with staff from the EMRA region. This allows us to create local employment opportunities from the outset of the project. Helping families remain rooted in their communities instead of having to move elsewhere for work. Contributing to a greener, more resilient Midlands where local skills and traditions can evolve for future generations. This investment is more than just bricks and mortar—it’s about people. By combining training, job creation, and sustainable development, we are working to ensure that the Midlands remains a place where communities can thrive. We are grateful for the support of Pobal and the Just Transition Fund, and we look forward to welcoming staff, trainees, and visitors to our new facilities in the near future.
