Borken implements tree maintenance and safety measures

The city of Borken is conducting extensive tree maintenance and safety operations scheduled to continue until the end of February 2027. As part of a municipal safety and maintenance concept, approximately 95 trees will be felled due to risks posed by rot, fungal infections, or other structural damage. The city plans to replace these trees with new plantings to maintain its green infrastructure.

Additionally, maintenance includes the rejuvenation of wall hedges through heavy pruning to promote biodiversity and long-term plant vitality. These works are being carried out during the winter months to minimize ecological impact while plants are in their dormant phase. Residents should expect localized traffic restrictions and temporary closures of roads and paths, with official detours being signposted.
