Biodiversity Crisis in Ireland

Dear Woodies

As the largest chain of DIY Stores and Garden Centres in Ireland you are a critical link to many of the two million domestic gardens in Ireland which are a potential platform for saving Ireland from the biodiversity crisis.

We appeal to you to stop selling Roundup weedkiller as this is harmful to people and the environment and many people are simply unaware of this when they purchase it in your stores and use it in their private gardens.

We appeal to you instead to get behind the biodiversity crisis. There is a great deal of money to be made because there is a huge amount of work to be done in supporting biodiversity around the country.

• We need people planting fruit and nut trees and other kinds of native trees.
• We need pollinator friendly plants.
• We need native hedging for wildlife corridors.
• We need eco friendly pots and signage for wild gardens and signage for pollinator plants to spread the word.
• We need people growing their own pesticide-free vegetables and herbs.

In fact the number of garden projects is endless and this is a fantastic way to grow your already existing customer base. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved with the community while at the same time making more money. Per Woodies logo we are all homemakers so we are all in this together.

Please take this opportunity to do something of enormous value for your business, your community, your country and your planet.
