Kemerovo residents announced the cutting down of "hundred-year-old" trees in the Kirov area.
Residents of Kamerovo are outraged on social media: in their opinion, a forest in the Kirovsky District is being cut down illegally. The city administration responded on November 10 that experts are removing emergency trees at the residents' request.
Photos of cleaning the green area next to the hospital between Yuzama and Unova streets are circulating online. The author of the publication claims that trees are destroyed for no reason. In the video, a resident stops the Zelenstroy workers: "Why are you reducing the good and the healthy?! The workers answer: "They are an emergency."
The mayor's office explained that residents had previously complained about dry birch trees hanging over the paths. The survey confirmed that the trees are a threat.
"These dangerous trees are now being removed, and young birch trees will be planted in their place in the spring," reports the city administration. Anyone can take part in the cleaning.
