The council is responsible for managing no fewer than 75,000 trees in public green spaces. We do everything we can to ensure that trees grow to a ripe old age in good health. This means that we maintain and regularly inspect the trees. If a tree is not growing properly because it is not in suitable soil, we improve the conditions around the tree. If a tree is diseased or poses a safety risk, we take action by pruning or felling it. To ensure that our woodland areas remain diverse and sustainable for the future, it is sometimes necessary to prune trees back or, conversely, to allow them to die back naturally. We also plant new trees every year to ensure there are enough trees left.<\/p>\n

Trees provide oxygen and shade<\/h2>\n

On hot days, trees provide cooling shade. This is important for the environment, for both people and animals. Due to climate change, it is becoming increasingly important to have enough trees per square metre. In cities in particular, it can otherwise quickly become too hot.<\/p>\n

Trees also literally provide air, as they convert CO\u2082 into oxygen. So trees are very important!<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
