The Limerick Strand Hotel is proud to be the first hotel in Limerick city to partner with Irish charity, Hometree. This collaboration is a testament to the hotel's dedication to environmental sustainability and supporting Irish biodiversity.

Hometree, founded in 2014, has since planted over 150,000 native trees such as Scots pine, willow, and alder. The charity encourages public involvement in enhancing Ireland's habitats and biodiversity through regenerating land, conserving and restoring permanent woodlands.

Kate Wieczorkiewicz, Sustainability Manager at The Limerick Strand Hotel comments, “We’re thrilled to amplify our sustainability endeavours with our latest partnership with Hometree. For every conference of over 100 attendees and each wedding, a native tree will be planted, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility. We are also happy to provide tips for anyone eager to host a more sustainable event".

The hotel team is proud to unveil the new Green Meetings and Green Weddings initiatives, offering a multitude of ideas for hosting greener, more sustainable events. For instance, using the hotel’s projectors or screens for hosting paperless meetings, having both the wedding ceremony and reception on-site to reduce travel-related carbon emissions, or using the hotel’s candelabra and cherry blossom decorations to minimise waste. The full list of ideas and initiatives can be found on the hotel’s website.

Hotel guests can also donate to Hometree via QR codes displayed throughout the hotel or the website, joining them in their mission to make a positive impact on Irish woodlands.

The Limerick Strand Hotel will keep striving to set an example in the hospitality industry and is proud to be part of the solution. Their commitment has been recently recognised by a Gold in Green Tourism Accreditation.
