In the middle of the breeding season, chainsaws will scream in Klosterneuburg – green giants are to be sacrificed to a cycle path
The thugs are expected to arrive today. Then the beautiful avenue on Kierlinger Straße is botanical history. “Then the leaves are gone and everything here is more than bare,” says local resident Oliver John P., who regularly cycles here to visit his mother-in-law. Bad news for the breeding season. Bird protectors from the city are also sad. Because the breeding season is currently in full swing. The ornithologists fear that nests with young will fall to the ground along with the green giants and then the newly hatched featherballs will die in agony. But there is no way around clearing more than ten trees. It is announced on one of the trunks that it has to be removed due to infrastructural measures – i.e. a cycle path gap. In order to calm eco-conscious minds, the replacement planting of climate-friendly plants is announced. However, it will take a short eternity on earth before these can fulfill their function as shade providers.
