Partners & sponsorship
Terra Éire works with a small number of partners who want to support real land stewardship in Ireland — something tangible, ongoing, and accountable.
Partnership support goes directly into the practical work: habitat establishment, hedgerows, pollinator support, tree planting, water care, and the systems needed to steward land properly over time.
In return, partners receive grounded documentation of progress on the ground — clear updates, seasonal records, and a project that is designed to build over years rather than operate as a short campaign.
Practical land craft, habitat structure, and long-term stewardship.
Partnership is structured annually so the work can compound properly over time. Each level reflects scale of support and depth of involvement, from early backing of the project to deeper long-term partnership in specific areas of stewardship.

About carbon certificates vs. real-world impact
Carbon language can be confusing. We believe in being clear and honest.
Why we don’t issue carbon certificates (yet)
Formal carbon certificates require complex verification, audits, and long-term monitoring. This process can cost tens of thousands of euro per project — money that would otherwise go directly into land care, trees, wetlands, and pollinator habitat.
At this stage, we believe those funds are better spent doing the work on the ground.
What we do instead
We provide transparent, plain‑English estimates of climate benefit, based on the scale of stewardship your partnership supports.
- Hectares of land restored and actively managed
- Native trees planted and maintained
- Hedgerows regenerated
- Wetland and water protection work
- Pollinator habitat and active beehives supported
How partners use this
Partners typically communicate their involvement like this:
“This year, we supported long‑term land stewardship in Ireland — helping restore native habitat, planting trees, and supporting pollinators as part of our wider climate responsibility.”
This approach avoids greenwashing while still allowing you to clearly show real, measurable action.
Looking ahead
Formal verification can add real value now. Terra Éire intends to move toward verification routes that are proportionate, credible, and useful to partners, while still keeping the work on the ground at the centre.
Matching your footprint to a partnership tier
All partnerships are per annum. Support is renewed yearly to reflect ongoing land care, monitoring, and stewardship.
This guide helps organisations choose a level of support that feels proportionate to their estimated footprint. These are indicative ranges, not certified offsets.
Seed
Typical footprint: up to ~10 tCO₂e / year
- Small or early-stage teams
- Mostly remote or low-energy offices
- Minimal travel or fleet use
Supports small-scale habitat work, pollinator planting, and stewardship planning.
Grove
Typical footprint: ~10–50 tCO₂e / year
- Growing SMEs
- Some company vehicles
- Occasional business travel
Supports tree planting, hedgerow regeneration, and ongoing land management.
Horizon
Typical footprint: 50+ tCO₂e / year
- Larger teams or vehicle fleets
- Regular travel
- More complex operations
Supports multi-hectare stewardship, wetlands, long-term monitoring, and reporting.
