In the neighborhoods of De Gentiaan, Sonnius Park and the Outdoor Wolfswinkel area, we started the maintenance of municipal trees. 

This year the work will be done by a new contractor. To ensure that the pruning work is done in the desired manner, we organized a practical pruning day on April 22, prior to the work in Sonnius Park. Here both the municipality and the contractor were present to meet in practice and agree on the desired level of pruning.

Only trees where it is really necessary are pruned. This may be to ensure adequate space for traffic or street lighting, for example, or to ensure the long-term health of the tree. 

By targeted pruning, we ensure that the tree stock remains balanced and the green look of neighborhoods is maintained.
