Leave No Trace Ireland Launches New Video Series: “From Roots to Canopy: A Journey in Stewardship”

Leave No Trace Ireland is proud to announce the launch of our new video series, “From Roots to Canopy: A Journey in Stewardship,” on our social media channels. This compelling series highlights the transformative power of environmental stewardship and the critical role that individuals, communities, and organisations play in protecting Ireland’s natural heritage.

Funded by the generous support of philanthropic donors, this project offers a unique glimpse into the work of Leave No Trace Ireland. The videos feature inspiring stories from diverse voices across Ireland, showcasing how small, thoughtful actions can create a profound impact on our environment.

Maura Kiely, CEO of Leave No Trace Ireland, reflects on the project:

“This series is more than just a collection of videos—it’s a celebration of the people, places, and partnerships that embody the Leave No Trace ethos. From the roots of our organisation to the expanding branches of our community outreach, each story reinforces our shared responsibility to protect and cherish Ireland’s natural beauty.”

About the Video Series

The series is divided into four key chapters:

  • Introduction: The Seed – Exploring the origins of Leave No Trace Ireland and its mission to inspire responsible outdoor ethics.
  • Part One: Our Roots – Highlighting our foundational work in policy and partnership development with national stakeholders like Sport Ireland and NPWS.
  • Part Two: The Trunk – Focusing on our education programmes that empower individuals to connect with and protect nature.
  • Part Three: Branching Out – Showcasing our community engagement efforts, from coastal towns to urban centers, fostering a nationwide network of environmental stewards.

Each video combines powerful storytelling, stunning visuals of Ireland’s landscapes, and actionable messages to inspire viewers to embrace the Leave No Trace principles in their everyday lives.
