A GAA club on the northside of Cork City has planted over 120 trees on its grounds as part of an ambitious city-wide community climate and biodiversity scheme.

St Vincent’s GAA Club has also upgraded the internal lighting in its club building after being chosen as one of 23 community groups to receive a share of an €860,000 fund, which was set up to help fund specific climate and biodiversity projects as the city strives to become carbon neutral by 2030.
