MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That this Council approves the planting of a small Pocket Forest on the Green area opposite St. Colmcilles Primary School and the Church in Knocklyon.

REPORT:

The Council is currently carrying out a mini woodland or small pocket forest trial in conjunction with a community group in Sean Walsh Park. The first step of ground preparation has taken place with tree planting taking place at the end of November. This trial will be reviewed and evaluated in 2022. The review will inform the development and planting of future pocket forests in the County. The planting of a small pocket forest in the green area in Knocklyon will be considered at that time.
