2027 Is Competition Time For Children Across County Offaly
Casper Elder’s Tree Friends Project Competition
Casper Elder’s Tree Friends Project invites children from across County Offaly to use their imagination and creativity to help protect one of our most precious resources — wood.
Trees provide us with timber for our homes, fuel for heating and cooking, furniture, musical instruments like guitars, sporting equipment such as hurleys, toys, books, paper and countless everyday products. But these valuable natural resources should never be taken for granted.
Through this competition, children are encouraged to explore simple and creative ways to conserve timber and wood-based products by repairing, reusing, repurposing, upcycling and recycling rather than throwing them away.
We want Offaly’s young people to become Tree Friends — to think about where wood comes from, how we use it, and what each of us can do to make sure this wonderful renewable resource is used wisely for generations to come.
Think creatively. Waste less. Reuse more. Be a Tree Friend!
