Waterford’s city leaders are rallying behind a bold urban greening plan—planting more trees to transform empty spaces into vibrant, livable areas. Deputy Conor McGuinness supports the initiative, praising trees for their environmental and health benefits, while cautioning against poor placement that could harm infrastructure. Inspired by North America’s urban forestry model—which targets 50% tree cover in public zones—he highlights how trees can cool cities, save energy, boost wellness, and attract wildlife. This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a strategic move toward a more sustainable, resilient, and beautiful Waterford for everyone.
