Today marks the 25th anniversary of Terryland Forest Park in the city - and President Michael D Higgins was there to mark the occassion.
He planted an oak tree, and also unveiled a plaque of his poem "The Mountain" on the stump of a tree felled by Storm Éowyn.
Local schools, volunteers and community groups were also present at the event - and Chloe Nolan was there to bring us this report.
