Planned Grounds Maintenance
First published 17th Feb, 2025A maintenance programme for Blackweir Woodland will begin on Monday 17th February 2025. This will involve important conservation work such as such as removing epicormic growth and clearing bramble before nesting season begins.
Tree works necessary to enable summer events in the park to take place safely have also been identified following independent arboricultural advice. These works will be carried out by independent tree contractors and will support the management of the immediate area. The works will include a mixture of pruning works including, dead-wooding, de-suckering and coppicing.
Sadly, 5 Ash and 1 Elm tree have been identified as diseased and dead or dying and these trees will now need to be felled in order to ensure public safety.
Removing a tree is never something that is done lightly and the Council is committed to preserving its existing tree stock and expanding overall canopy cover through the Coed Caerdydd project, however we have a duty to ensure the safety of park users.
Ahead of these works, independent ecological advice has been sought and all recommendations arising will be followed.
