Description

Throughout its Parks, Cemeteries, Playing Fields, Golf Courses and Open Spaces, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council manages and is responsible for a wide variety of tree cover. The residents of the Council Area are very tree conscious and keen to ensure that trees are managed sensibly, both to enhance their long-term aesthetic value and to ensure permanent tree cover for future generations. Consequently, tree management enjoys a high profile, and this contract plays a small part in ensuring the long-term future of trees under our care. The Council prides itself in offering a high standard, front facing service to all its customers and considers the quality of our environment as a priority in which all the trees contribute to our area's own unique identity making it a healthier place in which to live and work. The Council is overall responsible for the management of approx. 40,000 plus Parkland trees.
