Trim for Aberdare Park Conifer Trees

March 1, 2008

Aberdare Park Squirrel speaks out ...Rhondda Cynon Taf Council have confirmed that around 100 trees are to be cut down in Aberdare Park… “for safety reasons”.

According to RCT Council, the elderly Leylandii conifers have been shedding branches across busy Cemetery Road, adjacent to the park.

They will be replaced later this year with a mixture of trees which will have brightly-coloured spring flowers, summer berries and vibrant shades in the autumn. These trees will attract wildlife and enhance the overall landscape of the park.

Staff from Rhondda Cynon Taf Parks division will begin removing the conifers in early March.
