In recent weeks, Cork City Council has been criticised over tree felling along the Passage West Railway Greenway. Managing trees in an urban setting can often seem overly destructive especially if those trees have not been managed on an ongoing basis. One project involves using UCC’s magnificent tree collection as a “living classroom”. Look and learnHow wonderful it would be if that look-and-learn idea was extended to include replacement trees planted for projects like the Passage West Railway Greenway. The positive momentum generated could be extended if local authorities published replanting plans before removing dead or out-of-control trees.
