Who injures the old trees so that all that remains is to cut them down completely?

(live here green) - A difficult sight was recently revealed to the eyes of the residents of Kiryat Eliezer, when they noticed that trees 70 years old and more were cut down and damaged on purpose, so that they became a safety hazard, which left no choice but to cut them down completely.

Residents of Kiryat Eliezer turned to the Hay Pe site and told with pain that decades-old trees were cut down on Allenby Street by the municipality. According to the residents, these are trees that are 70 years old or more, and after an inquiry they made and from what they heard, they realized that apparently these trees were bothering certain neighbors who were interested in getting rid of them. Those neighbors They found an apparently "creative" way to cause the trees to be removed, and damaged them in such a way that they would pose a safety hazard, until the municipality was forced to cut them down completely.

The issue of cutting down trees in Haifa often comes up on the agenda on the Hai Pa site, this is in light of their importance in the public space, when beyond the aesthetics they provide, trees have a broad meaning in regards to cleaning the air that affects the health of all of us. A member of the city council and chairman of the Greens of Haifa, Avihu Han, also raised a query on the subject this month.

Avihu Han, a member of the city council and chairman of the Greens of Haifa, told Lahi Fe:
"Crimes are committed against trees in Haifa. The municipality of Haifa, led by Kalish, continues to cut down thousands of trees every year. The hand is light on the trigger. And here we are exposed again and again to trees that are cut down by the thousands and there is no listening ear and no helping hand. In the Haifa municipality of Kalish, instead of promoting a plan for conservation and planting Trees, they cut down trees. In another year, in October 2023, as mayor, I will make the change on this issue and prepare a broad conservation plan to prevent the cutting of trees and a broad development plan for planting trees throughout the city."

Haifa Municipality has not yet given a response.

    The municipality easily approves the felling of their trees at the request of contractors, without considering the rest of the city's residents.
    In my yard, on private land, three 3-year-old trees were cut down by an impudent contractor who carried out TAMA, among them a huge oak tree that was a habitat for birds that are no longer seen in the urban area...all with the backing and approval of the municipality

  2. He blames Klish and not the criminal residents. interesting.
    She's supposed to let trees fall in his opinion and hurt people? It doesn't seem that he is really interested in the issue because then he would try to lead to the arrest of the perpetrators and not blame the municipality for acting out of necessity when horrible residents do such things.
    From the moment Klish was elected, they blamed her and didn't let her do anything, and he is one of them, it's just amazing how many men with fragile egos tremble in front of a woman leader...
