The Parks and Landscape Services Division also had an important role in the provision and maintenance of street trees. There are more than 60,000 street and roadside trees within the city, with an average of 5000 trees being planted by Dublin City Council in the city each year.
In addition the Division also looks after civic decoration such as street planters, and seasonal displays such as Christmas Trees.
Native Tree Trails
There are three Native Tree Trails in Dublin City Council Parks. On the southside, one is located in Bushy Park, Terenure and the other in Markievicz Park, Ballyfermot. The first northside Tree Trail has opened in July 2010 at Poppintree Park. The Trails will help to introduce you to a selection of Ireland's native trees. There are 15 native trees signposts in each Park. To find them you can navigate your way around the park using The Native Tree Trail Booklet
