An Taisce - 'The Store House, or Treasury' is The National Trust For Ireland.
An Taisce is Ireland's oldest environmental charity founded over 60 years ago to protect the environment and heritage of Ireland for the benefit of the people of Ireland and future generations and for the ‘Common Good’.
We believe this is best achieved through sustainable development, achieved by a long term and planned balance of social and economic development with environmental protection.

- We have 60 years experience of environmental protection.
- We work in practical ways to protect our natural environment and our built heritage.
- We maintain an active voice in the important debates about the future of the country, we have the channels to get our ideas heard by those that matter and they do listen.
- We advocate for sustainable development, climate security, food security, energy security and water security and against biodiversity loss.
