Cork City Is Not Planting Enough Trees
That's according to Cork Trees Trust which has revealed that Cork city council plants just 200 trees a year

Cork Trees Trust is calling on the city council to adopt a tree policy.
Speaking to RedFM News this morning secretary Conn Donovan says the value of trees in a city shouldn't be underestimated;
