Ards and North Down Borough Council uses a proactive approach in the management of its tree stock. The local authority engages an expert consultant to periodically carry out full inspection surveys for each site, to assess the risk of significant harm from a tree or branch fall.
The Council replaces trees in numbers in excess of those that need to be felled and has an annual tree-planting programme which sees many trees of both native and interesting unusual varieties planted over each Autumn/Winter season. For example, the STAND4TREES initiative aims to plant a tree for every person in the Borough, that is approximately 160,000 trees.
