[Leading Cork to take its place as a World Class City] __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Planting and Biodiversity Over 4,500 perennial pollinator friendly plants were planted at 6 locations across the City. 70 tiered planters were planted in the City Centre by both summer and winter bedding, giving great colour throughout the year. More than 700 native trees were planted comprising a variety of native Irish species such as birch, oak, holly and hazel. We increased the number of no-mow areas across the City during the year as a biodiversity action and will add further areas in 2022. We completed the Old School Path Biodiversity Plan and gave assistance to the many local community groups in encouraging biodiversity and assisting with environmental clean ups.
