Its mission statement is to "Foster a Tree Culture in Ireland through Action and Awareness" Its objectives are threefold: to educate the public about trees, to facilitate networking among members, and to be a representative voice for tree culture and tree promotion.
Its main activities are the organisation of the annual events of National Tree Week in March and National Tree Day on the first Thursday of October.
The Tree Council of Ireland is a collaborator with the Easy Treesie project, working towards the goal of planting a million trees with Ireland's one million school children and their communities. The project is a response to the challenge by Felix Finkbeiner, founder of Plant-for-the-Planet to the children of the world to plant a million trees in every country as a symbolic and practical act promoting Climate Justice. The project commenced with an initiative with Science Foundation Ireland where 30,000 trees were planted nationwide during National Science Week 2019.

, the Tree Council of Ireland, the Irish Tree Society and Crann. To qualify for inclusion on the registry a tree must be considered to be of biological, cultural, ecological or historical interest because of its age, size or condition.

Currently, the Register is expanding at a rate of approximately 1,000 trees each year.
