Following inspections of hundreds of trees around the park, the Isle of Wight Council has identified which need work. Many can be made safe by removal of limbs or other minor works, but some will need to be removed. Where prominent trees are taken down, the planned work includes planting new trees next winter to ensure the popular park keeps its distinctive tree-lined landscape for future generations. Cabinet member for environment, heritage and waste management, Cllr Steve Hastings, said: The Isle of Wight Council is proud to be the custodian of woodlands and trees across the Island, from nature reserves to industrial estates.
