Crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery will be under the thematic spotlight
This is now a municipal regulation
The City of Lisbon has now made it a municipal policy to seek an increase in the scope of green areas. This is a recognition of the fact that climate change is likely to pose more strain on urban life in the future. In that respect, last week, a municipal order was published that defined the policy of treating dead trees from now on.
With this, the City also reminds citizens that removing or transplanting trees are sometimes necessary acts in greenery management in cases when a plant is dead, severely ill or is of an invasive species. However, tree removal should not be a cause of concern for citizens since replacement has been transcribed as the policy to follow.
As a rule, replanting is preferred in a place close to the specimens that have to be removed, provided that they present conditions for this purpose. However, it is not always possible to proceed with the maintenance or transplant of the specimens, as they do not always present the necessary sanitary conditions that make this operation viable, so felling then becomes necessary.
Here are the four points of the order, in more detail:
The city was concerned about street noise and disturbances to residents
