tree felling at Wachtberg solve questions from

Wachtberg - In the past few weeks, numerous old trees have been felled in the Kottenforst, which the residents and environmentalists get. On the paths are the felled tribes and raise the question: What is behind this measure? The "General-Anzeiger" asked for information from the Wald and Holz NRW state company.

A central knowledge is that the forest in question is not completely owned by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. This has an impact on the processes of tree felling and dealing with the forest. The management practices in these areas can vary, depending on the owner.

The discussion about the felling has also brought the topic of nature conservation into play. It is often questioned whether such comprehensive felling are compatible with the goals of nature conservation. The Kottenforst is an important habitat for many animal and plant species and should be treated accordingly.

The motives for the felling are diverse. Safety aspects and the health test of the trees are often in the foreground. If trees are old or sick, this can not only be a danger to walkers, but also for the surrounding flora and fauna. Experts recommend regular checks to secure the health of the forest.

Apart from the ecological aspects, public perception is also crucial. Communication between the forest administration and the population plays an important role in clearing misunderstandings and creating transparency. A dialog could help to strengthen the trust of citizens in the necessary measures and at the same time to emphasize the importance of nature and environmental protection.

In summary, the tree felling in the Kottenforst shows how important it is to find the balance between nature conservation and the necessary interventions. Careful handling of the urban forests is necessary to ensure both the security of the citizens and the preservation of biodiversity.
