Bandwork site needs to eliminate Maple from its roster

Bandwork website requires Maple's removal

The city administration has announced that a tree in a heavily frequented public area of Ronsdorf will be felled due to its deteriorated condition, posing a potential risk to the public. This action does not affect the city's commitment to its replanting program, as the replacement of the tree will be carried out separately.

The decision to fell the tree was made after careful consideration, taking into account the tree's current state. One of its branches threatens to break off, and the tree is no longer vital. Its crown is no longer fully leafed, further indicating its poor health. The city's replanting program does not address the immediate hazard posed by the current tree.

The city's replanting program is a separate initiative, aimed at enhancing the city's greenery. As part of this program, a replacement tree will be planted in Ronsdorf, coordinated with the Ronsdorf District Council. The location for the new tree has yet to be determined, but it will be in a suitable spot within the district.

The Ronsdorf District Council has been informed of the decision to fell the tree and the subsequent plans for a replacement. The name of the council member responsible for coordinating the new planting site is not available at this time.

The city's replanting program will involve the planting of a replacement tree, but it is not a response to the potential risk posed by the current tree. The felling of the current tree is necessary to prevent potential hazards and ensure the safety of the public.

The city encourages its residents and visitors to respect the safety measures that will be put in place during the felling process. Once the current tree has been safely removed, preparations for the planting of the replacement tree will begin. The city looks forward to continuing its efforts to maintain a green and safe environment for all.
