2016 Tree Planting Programme.

Trees make a major contribution to the character and appearance of South Dublin County. They provide significant economic, social, environmental, ecological and aesthetic benefits to communities and to urban and residential streets, parks and open spaces. They also enhance biodiversity and play a crucial role in mitigating climate change.

South Dublin County Council recognises the value of street trees in the urban environment and is committed to planting new trees to ensure that the visual amenity in South Dublin is assured for future generations.

In recent years, due to increased demand for maintenance to be carried out on the c. 60,000 existing trees, the Council has focussed the application of its available resources primarily on tree pruning and removal activity. This has resulted in very limited implementation of new or replacement tree planting across the county over the past few years.

However, as committed in the 2015-2020 Tree Management Policy "Living With Trees", the Council aims to identify an annual target and budget for tree planting to re-establish its commitment to a countywide programme of tree planting to ensure the renewal and continuity of our tree population. In this regard, an additional €50,000 provision for tree planting is included under the Council's 2016 budget. This equates to approximately 1,000 trees across the county. A tree planting programme has been prepared and this will be carried out during late Autumn/ Winter 2016 and Spring 2017.

The extent of the 2016 tree planting programme is determined by prioritising areas where trees have been removed or where there is an identified need to increase the overall tree cover. Requests from Council members and local residents for new trees in their streets or areas have also be taken into consideration and have been prioritised according to the number of trees already on the street, including those in front gardens and on adjacent land.

The principle of planting the ‘right tree in the right place’ will apply for all new and replacement tree planting. The careful selection of appropriate tree species and planting location is essential to minimise future nuisance issues and unnecessary maintenance costs. Potential sites for tree planting have been inspected to assess their suitability for new trees, considering factors such as services, sight lines, warning signs and traffic signals, distance from public lighting columns, space for future crown and root growth, etc.

Details of the proposed tree planting programme in 2016 are set out in the table below:
