Northern Ireland’s first ‘Hiroshima survivor tree’ was planted at CAFRE’s Greenmount campus by Environment Minister Edwin Poots on Thursday.
Saplings grown from the seeds of a gingko tree that survived the atomic bomb have also been given to every council in Northern Ireland as a symbol of resilience.
The unique project is the fruit of a budding new partnership between CAFRE Greenmount and the Green Legacy Hiroshima initiative.
