Apply for the removal or alteration of protected landscape features (e.g. avenues)
Description
Trees produce vital oxygen, improve the climate, filter dust and pollutants and provide humidity and air movement. They provide a habitat for a wide variety of animals, enliven and structure the cityscape or townscape and dampen noise. To ensure that trees are preserved, they require special protection - especially in heavily populated areas.
If you wish to fell a tree, a permit may be required. You may have to pay compensation for the felled tree. A felling permit is particularly necessary if trees are subject to special protection.
If a tree is protected as a "protected landscape feature" in a built-up area or within an avenue, you must apply for a special permit to fell it.
Please contact the lower nature conservation authority.
If there is a tree protection statute in your municipality or town, please also contact your municipality.
- Tree protection ordinance of the district, if available
- If available, tree protection statutes of the municipality or independent cities
