Figure 6.3 Recent ‘microforest’ planting adjacent to a ring road in Paris (Photo credit: Reasons to Be Cheerful) [6.5] Road Verges The Cork City Green and Blue Infrastructure Study (April 2022) notes that the verges of major roads, such as the N22, N27 and N20 should be assessed for additional new planting opportunities.
