Americans for An Taisce

is playing an active role in protecting and safeguarding all that we love about Ireland.

To catalyze America’s potential, an American friends group was established in 2023 to cultivate support for An Taisce, bring attention to An Taisce’s current activities, and offer Americans an active role in protecting Ireland’s heritage and safeguarding its future.  

The Irish diaspora is substantial and significant, and nowhere more evident than in the United States where millions of Americans claim Irish ancestry as their primary ethnicity.  

Irish America alongside Americans who care deeply about conservation, heritage, environmental sustainability, have an important role to play in protecting Ireland’s heritage and safeguarding its future.
