Security measures in the forest: tree care protects road users!

In an exciting combination of security and nature conservation, extensive fortensive work along the L596A between Schriesheim and Altenbach took place. This ambitious project, which was carried out during the autumn holidays, aimed to fell the sick and storm -prone trees, which were a risk for road users. According to a report on leimenblog.de it was particularly important to recognize and eliminate possible dangers at an early stage. The district manager of the district forestry, Walter Pfefferle, emphasized that the forest owner's traffic safety obligation is an essential task.

In order to make the measure as efficiently as possible, adjacent forest stocks were also searched. Christoph Kappes from the district forestry office explained that the creation of a safety distance from the street should also improve the stability of the forest. This was done with the help of modern technology, so that a harvester was used for the work to safely transport and process the wood. Thorn -rich shrubs and large -scale trees should prevent soil erosion in the long term, while valuable habitats have been preserved, which offer living space for various animal species, as on the website of Ministry for Transport nrw .

The logistical challenge was enormous because several machines and teams had to work coordinated to guarantee security during the felling work. Despite the extensive effort, some cyclists and hikers conflict with the closures, which focused on the warnings of the forest workers. However, the completion of the work was successfully achieved, and the L596A was released in time for the opening for traffic, which ensures both the safety of road users and the sustainable maintenance of the forest.
