NATIONAL TREE WEEK Sunday 6th March to Saturday 12th March 2011


Cork County Council Recreation & Amenity

 

I would like to draw your attention to the National Tree Week from Sunday 6th to Saturday 12th March this year. 

 

Please remind your friends and associates who are involved in local community groups, schools, etc. and may be interested in applying for free saplings that the details are available on the website on www.treecouncil.ie

 

Local residents groups, schools, community groups etc. may contact Recreation & Amenity, to request trees from Cork County Council.  As we get a limited number of saplings for distribution they are offered on a first come first served basis.  These trees are intended for planting in a public/community area.  

 

Our gardening section will endeavour to deliver the saplings to your local area office for collection on a suitable day and time.  Your area office will ring you to let you know when the trees are available for collection.

 

Please note that deliveries will be made as soon as possible around Tree Week but you are advised not to arrange public plantings until you have confirmed with your local area office what day and time you may collect the trees.
