Convergint Ireland Joins “Orchards in the Community” Initiative with Host in Ireland

Convergint Ireland is proud to be participating in Host in Ireland’s “Orchards in the Community” initiative alongside 51 other pledgers and over 90 schools and community groups. Orchards In The Community is part of the DCs for Bees initiative, which highlights ways for individuals and businesses to take action in addressing Ireland’s biodiversity plight. 

Convergint has pledged to donate orchards to Catholic University School (CUS) and Bray Chamber of Commerce. The whole ecosystem will benefit from growing these orchards with the aim of encouraging biodiversity, protecting and feeding our pollinators, and encouraging community awareness and action. 

Orchards provide vital green spaces in cities and towns, where people are encouraged to interact with nature either through becoming custodians of the trees or by simply being around them and enjoying their shade, beauty, and fruit. They are also important habitats as the natural life cycle of fruit trees provides food sources for pollinators and other species throughout the year. With “Orchards in the Community”, orchards are being planted in every single county on the island of Ireland, both in the Republic and Northern Ireland making this an all Ireland effort.
