Trees in Christchurch's Botanic Gardens will be lit up year-round by the end of next month.

The Christchurch City Council is spending $900,000 on 119 lights to be placed in the Armstrong Lawn area adjacent to Rolleston Ave.

Some members of the public were concerned about the light pollution and the effect the lights would have on the ecosystem.

Council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said the lights had almost no UV spectrum, which reduced or eliminated insects' attraction to the light. The lights could also be dimmed and would not be on all night.

I sometimes walk my dog in this park area and also have taken my grand children and they are coming up real close on the ground then flying off and coming back swooping from the air. Luckily had the cricket bat to wave at them which helped scare them off.Strange though as it is not their nesting season.
Any thoughts from anyone on this please.
