Trees in Göttingen: Pink dots indicate felling, what's behind it?
Göttingen.Excitement in Göttingen's Weststadt! Large trees between Godehardstrasse and Hagenweg are marked with eye-catching pink and orange dots. Passers-by on the leash are in a state of excitement and ask themselves: What is behind these mysterious markings? The city administration has some information, but the situation remains unclear and is causing speculation.
The pink dots are an alarming sign! City administration spokesman Stefan Knichel explains that these trees are intended for felling. But whether deforestation will actually occur is still unclear. These markings mean that the trees must either be felled immediately or undergo a thorough inspection first. The city has introduced a multi-stage process: First the trees are marked, then a detailed examination by an expert follows. The chainsaw will only be used if he makes a final judgment.
Vandalism or mystery?
But what about the orange dots? This is where things get mysterious! The city government did not place these markings and does not know who is responsible. Knichel suspects vandalism because the meaning of the orange dots remains completely unclear. A mystery that poses a challenge to the city administration! While the pink markings represent potential tree felling, the origin of the orange dots remains an unsolved mystery.
