After ten months of combat, the battle of the chestnut trees in Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) was lost this Thursday, February 15, 2024. At dawn, the three trees, which stood at almost 25 meters, were sawn down.
“They weren't even pruned in advance, to do it as quickly as possible. The company with its chainsaws cut the trunks about a meter from the ground,” says Patrick Chevrenel, president of ADEAC.
