at my place, bremen, germany we have a very limited time to cut trees down.
the new law says, that between march and october, no treefalling is allowed. exept trees <30cm thick as long as no birds breed in it (haha)
on one hand it´s sort of allright to give nature a break.
on the other hand regulations makes it pretty hard for the business. for the last ten years, more and more treecare companies appeared. good for the trees, a clear signal, that the treebutchery is coming to its end (at least decreases).
so my opinion is, that the treecaring species is now endangered. I´d say that I, as a climber, am very well able to see if there is breed in the tree or not.
well that´s how it goes in most of germany. 5 month of falling jobs, close to mental/physical breakdown. and afterwards 7 months, flipping the employees into parttime workers for the few pruning jobs.
Not the very best solution to keep high standart treework in future...
Any similar situations out there in the community? I really wonder how other countries handle such themes.
