Outrage after tree felling in Weilheim: an ash tree that characterizes the cityscape was cut down unannounced. Residents called the felling of a large ash tree on Saturday morning on Bärenmühlweg a cloak and dagger operation.
Citizens describe the old tree as shaping the city landscape and have no understanding of the campaign. According to the German Nature Conservation Association, a tree protection regulation prohibits itnamely, removing, destroying, damaging or significantly changing the structure of protected trees.
