City clearing causes excitement: bird paradise lost!
City clearing causes excitement: bird paradise lost!
In the past few days, a controversial clearing in the Reichspfelgasse in the 15th district has caused a lot of sensation. A dense hedge was removed within just 48 hours, which served many birds as a breeding ground, food source and shelter. The affected neighbor Anne Eck has meticulously documented the incident and is affected by the advancing destruction of valuable green areas. Already in April at the city administration of MA 56, Eck asked whether the hedge was preserved, which was affirmed at the time .
The MA 56 said that the removal of the hedge was necessary to meet changed safety requirements when transitioning to the school building. This measure is intended to promote the protection of the children, which sounds understandable in itself. At the same time, however, it must be mentioned that the clearing was not subject to approval. According to experts, there were no brooding birds in the hedge, a point that is critically questioned by the residents.
The excitement about the incident has spread over social media, many users share their disappointment about the lost green area. Anne Eck sums it up: City nature must not be a building material, and the destruction leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is all the more gratifying that the news is planned that should contribute to promoting biodiversity and the green areas.
hedges from domestic trees are particularly important, not only for birds and insects, but also for climate protection. These plants not only offer habitat, but also contribute to the stability of fragile ecosystems. In addition, another source reports that the destruction of historical hedges is a widespread problem - since the 1950s, around 90,000 kilometers of hedges have been cleared in Germany alone nzz.ch reports that ... .
A practical recommendation for all garden owners: domestic trees such as Schlehe, hawthorn or the European Stechpalme are ideal plants for new hedges. They not only offer protection and food for many animal species, but also make a difference. The best results are achieved through good preparation and care to keep the hedges vital and powerful.
The city of Vienna has increasingly committed to the topic of green space and biodiversity and shows that the concerns of the citizens are heard. It remains to be hoped that the felled hedges will be replaced by suitable replantations and that such regrettable incidents can be avoided in the future.
