PROTECTING HEDGEROWS

Dear Clean and Green

Recent builders of housing developments in towns around the peninsula have cut down large mature trees, much to the annoyance of the neighbouring residents. I would like to point out that doing this at this time of year is illegal. March 1st to September the 1st as this is the nesting season of birds in the hedgerows. Hedgerows everywhere are being cut down where you find new housing estate developments; basic wooden fences are replacing these. Some of the estates are named after trees, such as The Woods in Buncrana. You will be hard pressed to find a shrub let alone a tree on the estate, they were all chopped down when the houses were built! Regards E.M. Carndonagh
