We cannot let this happen! We mustn't allow this beautiful wooded area full of native trees and protected wildlife to be just torn down with no reason! This woodland is home to bats, badgers, Pygmy shrews, hedgehogs and buzzards! These animals are protected in Ireland and it is illegal to destroy theses beautiful creatures homes! There are 200 year old oak trees which are perfectly healthy!Please sign the petition to stop the tree felling licence application GFL16380! Which is to remove 70% of the woodland along the Termonfeckin Road which is in Newtownstalaban across from the Newtown Cross Cemetery.

This is just pure greed. My kids play here all the time and love seeing the badgers. Please dont let them take it down.
