Translink donated about 100 bags of firewood to Glynn Community Association for distribution in Glynn and Magheramorne. The wood came from tree removal near the railway in Magheramorne to maintain rail safety.

Margaret Ferguson of Glynn Community Association welcomed the donation. She noted that the wood from local trees will supply warmth and fuel to homes in the area over the coming weeks.

Graeme Pollock, Translink senior programme manager, stated the company prioritizes safety by managing lineside trees. He added that the timber from these works benefits local residents.

Translink plants native trees at a ratio of at least one for each felled. In the past 18 months, it planted around 30,000 trees at sites outside Lisburn, Bangor, Antrim, and Ballymena, including birch, rowan, cherry, hazel, and oak.

The company currently exceeds its tree planting targets and seeks additional sites and partners.
