As part of the Tallaght Tree Planting Programme presented to the area committee at the November meeting in 2021 a total of 183 trees were planted in Dodder Valley Park. A total of 16 of those trees that were planted along the Dodder Valley Park Greenway were subsequently vandalised in April 2023.

The Council encourages residents who experience or witness illegal tree vandalism activities to report these to the Council.
