SBD supports nature and biodiversity in the district

We are continuing to create pockets across the district to help people connect with nature and support biodiversity

Recent successes include

• The Pocket Forest in Naomh Ólaf GAA club where we planted over 400 trees earlier this year
• Blackthorn Park: new park and children’s playground
• Bracken Park: pocket park with yellow canopies for shelter, picnic tables and benches, planting and the council’s art piece Scéal Trail (story trail) especially for children
• South County Park: pocket park at the entrance with water feature and wildflower meadows

In addition to that we also look after

• Landscaping: a variety of landscaping projects including herbaceous borders, over 10 new flower beds created in Stillorgan Business Park.
• A variety of insect hotels surrounded by bee friendly plantings
• Maintenance: to augment the council’s services provided, we continuously maintain grass verges, conduct tree maintenance and collect litter as part of an ongoing supplementary maintenance programme
