Cut and prune dead and dangerous trees and dead wood

This is an old post.

The municipality of Nuenen and Bosgroep Zuid Nederland will soon carry out some work in the forest plot near the Weverkeshof in Nuenen and on the planting on the sound barrier in the bend of the Lieshoutseweg in Gerwen. Both sites and plantings are owned by the municipality of Nuenen.

Cut down dead and dangerous trees and prune dead wood

In the forest plot near the Weverkeshof in Nuenen there is a lot of walking and playing. For this reason it is important to pay attention to the safety of the trees in the grove. In order to eliminate unsafe situations for visitors, some work will soon be carried out. Some dead and dangerous trees will be cut down. Some trees will also be pruned back considerably to keep them safe for the time being. In addition, dead and dangerous branches in the trees will be trimmed.

Cut down planting noise barrier Lieshoutseweg

At the intersection of Lieshoutseweg and Gerwenseweg, trees are present on the sound barrier in the bend. These trees are in poor condition and several of them are already dead. Some trees have also already blown down. This creates dangerous situations for the adjacent road. Therefore, these trees will be cut down for safety reasons.

Next fall/winter, young shrubs will be planted back on the sound barrier.

What do you notice about this work?

The work will be performed with machinery and an aerial platform. For safety reasons, paths in the forest near the Weverkeshof may be temporarily closed while the work is being carried out. Please keep enough distance from the machines and the work and do not walk on closed paths. We will try to keep any inconvenience to a minimum.

For the work along the Lieshoutseweg, one lane (southbound) will be closed outside peak hours. Traffic will be diverted to the other lane by traffic controllers. This lane will remain open at all times during the work.

The work will probably be carried out in February. Bosgroep Zuid Nederland is handling the preparation and execution of the work on behalf of the municipality of Nuenen.
