Dispute over trees: lack of space for new plants in Wesenberg!

Dispute over trees: lack of space for new plants in Wesenberg!

Wesenberg, Deutschland - in Wesenberg, a decision by the city council causes considerable unrest among the citizens. Ernst Firmont, a committed resident, is disappointed with the felling of four 100 -year -old Robinia, which was carried out in front of a planting campaign in the Droseedower Weg. The city had justified the felling with urgently needed care work and the guarantee of traffic safety, which heats up the mind. Such a decision not only raises questions about the care of the existing tree landscape, but also affects the new plantings that were placed in the ground as a replacement for the trees.

As a replacement plan, several young trees are now growing on the side of the path in front of the cemetery and along the Droseedower Weg. The problem, however, is that these new plants have difficulty developing - their roots grow into the old trees. Together with a potential of 20 to 30 meters high, these young trees, unless they are restricted in their growth, could make an important contribution to greening in the future. But the question remains whether there is enough space for new things where old robinia once stood.

the traffic and security situation

The aspects of traffic safety are not to be neglected. According to an investigation by the Federal Institute for Roads (BAST), accidents associated with impact on trees are characterized by their high heavy ones. The question of the tree locations, in addition to the aspects of aesthetics and environmental protection, becomes all the more important. Various plantings are examined on country roads that are underestimated in their danger. Statistically speaking, vacant rows of trees and avenues significantly increase the risk of accidents. Another aspect is that the visual relationships can be affected by the visual leadership of the planting, which increases the tendency for driving accidents.

The decision to fall the tree is therefore not only a question of the short -term city grass, but also raises essential questions about traffic safety. However, the district of Mecklenburg Seenplatte has declared itself not responsible for the trees along the district road, as district spokesman Nils Henke emphasizes. The responsibility is handed over to the community, which at this point encounters a lot of criticism.

a proposal for the future

Ernst Firmont therefore suggests that the newly planted trees on the opposite side of the street are located, where there is enough space through large lawns from the apartment building. A certain financial contribution by Firmont for the new trees is in the room, but the consent of the residents is unclear. Would you be ready to make your properties available for the trees and accept the falling leaves? These questions must now be clarified in order to enable the city's best development to the urban green.

In the discussion about felling and reproductions, a look at the numbers is not insignificant: In 2023, 442 trees have been felled so far, while 175 are replaced. This balance could show how challenging it is in times of tense budget to create and maintain a healthy city green. Compared to 2022, in which 605 felling came to only 527 new plantings, it can be seen that there is a need to catch up here.

the future of the new tree world in Wesenberg remains to be seen. Links between urban development, environmental awareness and the security in traffic are complex and require a large feeling for the concerns of everyone involved.
