A campaign to save a 90-year-old oak tree in Letterkenny has moved up a gear with the launch of a petition calling on Donegal County Council to halt plans to cut down the tree.

The petition – named ‘Stop the Removal of the Historic Sessile Oak Tree in Ballyraine’ – aims to protect a cherished landmark that has stood for nearly a century.

Among the locals standing in solidarity with the protestors is Mary T. Sweeney who recently announced her candidacy for Aontú in the upcoming General Election.
