Workers of the Green Areas Association are felling dry trees in the capital city. They work at night and on the weekend as well, IPN reports.

During May 27 – June 6, 271 trees were cut down, while 272 trees were trimmed. A number of 131 trees were felled and clipped in “Valea Morilor” Park during one day.

Mayor Ion Ceban said the employees of the Green Areas Association work in the areas managed by the Association first and will later move to the territories of educational institutions and the yards of apartment buildings in Chisinau.

He noted that they will inspect the works performed in the green areas of the city. “Regrettably, many of the requests continue to be neglected or rejected by the Environment Agency. A lot of trees in different places need to be dealt with immediately, but permits are not being issued. It is a big management and system problem. All the mayors in all the localities facing such problems mentioned this. No one from the Environment Agency resigned over the improper functioning of this institution,” stated the mayor.
