Bayside Tree Campaign - update December 22nd 2011

Tree Felling Continues ...


Fingal County Council are felling trees in Bayside on a daily basis (they have a target of the destruction of 130 mature healthy trees) in spite of the fact that 500 signatures, collected by the Bayside Tree Preservation Association, (BTPA), signed by residents in the area, was sent by registered post and acknowledged by the County Manager, David O'Connor, two months ago.

Each of these mature trees stores a ton of carbon and supply enough oxygen for ten people.

The national and local media, including Northside People have been contacted by residents who are awaiting a response from them and protests are taking place daily around the Bayside Shopping Centre, Bayside, Sutton, Dublin 13.

Bayside residents are calling for support from the public in the area and fellow environmental organisations to help them with their campaign to save the trees. You can find us >> HERE <<

A video of this environmental destruction can be viewed on the Aodhfinn YouTube channel for Forest Friends videos

- Bayside Tree Preservation Association (BTPA)
