"

The number of slaughters is reduced to the maximum and conservation is the priority

", indicated the town hall of Paris to AFP after the letter sent Tuesday by Christine Nedelec, president of FNE Paris, to PS deputies Emmanuel Grégoire, in charge of urban planning, and Christophe Najdovski, in charge of green spaces, in which she denounces, with supporting photos, a "

massacre

".

In mid-March, the activist had already written to the deputies of the PS mayor Anne Hidalgo, asking them to postpone the felling of 250 trees linked to the project to redevelop the Porte de Montreuil.

"

The transformation of the Porte requires a resumption of the existing road configurations and can, as such, lead to the felling of trees

", replies the town hall of Paris for which 110 trees in the sector "

are in a weakened state or in irreversible decline

" .

At the end of the project, the neighborhood will have about 200 more trees than before, or 600 in total.

The Tree Plan wanted by Anne Hidalgo provides for the planting of 170,000 additional trees by the end of her mandate in 2026, but for her opponents, like Valérie Montandon (LR), “

it is not a Tree Plan but a young shoots plan

”.

According to Christine Nedelec, City officials have indeed "

planted a lot of Miyawaki forests

", a small forest ecosystem with dense vegetation, "

but these are little shoots of nothing and three-quarters will perish

".

For the activist, "

it's really a scam, it's not the end result you will have

".

At this stage, Paris has around 200,000 trees in its streets, green spaces and municipal facilities, and 300,000 in its two Bois de Boulogne and Vincennes.
