City trees are being felled prior to the planting and growing season's commencement
In the city of Solingen, four primary schools - Kreuzweg, Lehner Straße, Gerber Straße, and Bogenstraße - are undergoing expansion and renovation. As part of this development plan, some trees at these schools are being felled to make way for the construction work.
The felling work, which is set to commence on Friday, January 24, is necessary for the renovation. However, it is happening outside of the usual legal protected period, from October to the end of February. The schools' administration assures that replacement planting measures are in place to maintain or improve the schools' green environment.
The renovation work extends along a length of approximately 550 meters of the Klauberger Bach, starting from the rain retention basin Klauberg. The aim of this renovation is to make the Klauberger Bach more natural.
The felling work is expected to take about a week, during which the footpath through the green zone between Klauberger Straße and Wupperstraße will remain closed. It's worth noting that some trees at the affected schools will be replaced during the construction process, with replacements happening both before and after the work is completed.
While the breeding and nesting season begins on March 1, the schools' administration is taking measures to minimise any potential impact on wildlife. The specific details of these measures were not available at the time of writing.
For those concerned about the tree felling and replacement efforts, consulting local municipal or school board sources would be advisable.

The renovation work is expected to begin in spring or summer, bringing new improvements to these schools and the surrounding environment.
