"Bay Guard" is ready

Tomorrow begins wood maintenance at the Herrschinger Kienbach.

A voluntary "Bachwache" from the group of citizens' initiative Pro Natur controls the work.

Herrsching

– Johannes Haas emphasizes that there are no preparatory measures for the upcoming Kienbach renovation.

He is responsible for the planning of the rehabilitation in the Weilheim water management office, but also for the "water maintenance", which becomes necessary every few years.

In this context, so-called wood care measures will start tomorrow (we reported).

Yesterday the trees were marked in color.

"Everyone can see which trees we have to cut down," says Haas.

The comrades-in-arms of the Herrschinger Initiative Pro Natur are alarmed and were already looking yesterday.

Through their initiative, which has meanwhile been included as a working group in Herrsching's Local Agenda 21, Doodle is looking for helpers who will critically monitor the measures, which will last about three weeks.

Two people are supposed to check the fingers of the workers irregularly.

As a new agenda working group, the initiative hopes to be able to exert more influence.

As such, according to a municipal council resolution from 1998, she not only has the right to submit applications and, in the event of clarifying questions, also a certain right to speak in the municipal council, but, according to Wittmann, she also hopes for financial resources that are available to the agenda working groups.

This does not apply to the "Bachwache", which is voluntary.

According to Haas, the upcoming work would be necessary below the station on the one hand and on the upper course of the stream on the other.

They were primarily used to keep the outflow cross-section clear.

A total of four areas are identified.

In connection with the redevelopment, only the use of a walking excavator was necessary to examine the subsoil.

In order to get this into the creek, a path would have to be cut free, "but that's not necessary without much effort," assures Haas.

The campaigners of the citizens' initiative see things differently after it was announced in a letter from residents that some trees with a trunk cross-section of 20 to 30 centimeters would have to be felled for the upcoming measures.

"That's a trunk circumference of 95 centimeters," says spokesman Norbert Wittmann.

Meanwhile, the plans for the far more complex renovation and expansion of the Kienbach have progressed.

"They will probably be ready by March," says Johannes Haas.

It is still unclear whether they will be presented at the citizens' meeting planned for March 2nd or at a municipal council meeting.

The fact that they will be presented was a promise after the felling of trees at the beginning of last year, which triggered the protest and the founding of the citizens' initiative.
