Christmas greetings from the trees. According to the tradition it must be good news, and those are not easy to come by. But here are some: several citizens have been in touch with great concern about an upcoming project on Bispebjerg Cemetery, where the evil felling dots have been placed on about 70 big and healthy trees. All in the name of a new urn burial spot. It came so close, but we reached out and managed to get a meeting and a tour of the premises. And together we found a compromise, sending the plan back to see if we can include more of the existing trees. <br />
<br />
So it really makes a huge difference that we all keep an eye out and keep each other informed. Keep that up! It helps. More on this case when we meet again in late January. Merry Christmas to all. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;">♥</span></span></div>

The urban trees get a helping hand from Mikael Colville-Andersen of The Life-Sized City. A full hour of listening on the urban podcast, about the urban trees of Copenhagen. And in time to include the impressive zero for the urban trees in Budget 2020.<br />
<br />
It is in English, which is actually the best thing for the trees. For the world to see exactly how poorly we are treating our beautiful city.<br />
<br />
Have a fantastic weekend. ♥</div>

They sure know how to throw the word "green" around, but it is blacker than ever. Not only did they set aside zero for the urban nature, they have now invested directly agaist it.<br />
<br />
They know how severe the situation is, they just don't care. At all.<br />

It is that time again. Budget negotiations for 2020 are on and on social media the political parties are sharing the priorities. Green in Copenhagen is as always about electricity, bikes and shared cars. Not trees and the grossly neglected urban nature. For years we have seen the trees passed over in the budgets. And we have reached the point where there is little left to preserve. The urban nature left is simply neglected. The care cut away and the gardeners now serving as staff in the cleaning department.<br />
<br />
<b>The question for all the political parties is this: Do you propose to set aside funds to the urban trees? For care and protection and not just new trees?</b><br />
<br />
The promise of new trees is the closest we ever get, year in and year out. So lets feast our eyes on 50.000 of the new "urban trees" they promised Copenhagen. They were planted on a dumpster site by Selinevej. In soil from the metro sites, devoid of nutrition, and where they since withered during last year's drought. As a replacement they have planted acorns that will have to fight weeds and bad soil. By no stretch of the imagination urban trees.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PS! Thank you for the ride to Lorry TV, even though they ended up editing out Save the Urban Trees and any traces of a critical angle.</div>

Here we go. The city has initiated the urban development in the green oasis of Nørrebro, City of the Elderly (De Gamles By). They are acting now which is why we need to protect the green areas in the master plan. They have already approved a three-part school and a diabetes center, both with parking spaces. Parking below ground is costly so we might get them on street level.<br />
<br />
The administration</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Finance Administration are responsible for part of the unique nature, which is evident from the haste with which they remove it and the way they mishandle it. Our precious nature are taking up attractive plots of land. We must pick our battles and right now that is the North Pole (Nordpolen). Along with the Danish Society for Nature Preservation, Local Environmental Centre Nørrebro, Danish Dendrological Society and strong local forces, we are fighting to preserve the endangered corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The North Pole</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The North Pole is the wild and beautiful corner facing Tagensvej, home to <a href="https://savetheurbantrees.blogspot.com/2018/09/de-gamles-by-oasis-or-building-site.html" target="_blank">the magnificent old hawthorn</a>, older than Nørrebro itself. In 2012 biologist and citizen Mogens Hansen made a complete registration of all the trees in the area. Shortly thereafter the city felled a row of old trees along the North Pole, when they widened the road for a bus lane (as they later admitted, they didn't even have to). The adjoining childrens daycare center burned to the ground and the plot was left bare. At the same time, they backed up a container space into the wild nature. The salami method, as we know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDY_U4I9To5E8s39oCMxhMVlLfvyQHZLMkUDhKVi-6kwm9m2jjDLEOyiQ5xSM9FP5ivQzMZ3z5o2vwZHKJBIdezNhM_ubHWjHf7H97wP43ZvhyBaLluuIgd43Vc3WpcGoxEWzTd9KGdUrq/s1600/IMG_2229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDY_U4I9To5E8s39oCMxhMVlLfvyQHZLMkUDhKVi-6kwm9m2jjDLEOyiQ5xSM9FP5ivQzMZ3z5o2vwZHKJBIdezNhM_ubHWjHf7H97wP43ZvhyBaLluuIgd43Vc3WpcGoxEWzTd9KGdUrq/s1600/IMG_2229.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
By 2015 the area had changed significantly and they began to speak of it as a developing site. Mogens Hansen mapped it all again and made a full report of his observations. And lastly in December 2018 the map was updated again, and all trees listed. Documentation of serious deforestation and extremely poor maintenance, with devastating consequences to nature, biodiversity and animal life.<br />
<br />
The Master Plan<br />
Last year, they decided against placing the diabetes centre on the North Pole, but it is still in play as a developing site, along with the rest of the area. We have been invited along in the following group for City of the Elderly, and at the intro meeting all the invited parties made it clear how preserving the nature in the area was a very high priority. Not the neat patches of grass but the the wild nature, the nooks and the old trees.<br />
<br />
The fight is huge and extensive in documentation, so it will be cut up in parts. This is the first part. All documentation will be laid out here on the blog, for all interested citizens, politicians and journalists to see. The first part includes the <a href="https://redbyenstraeer.blogspot.com/2019/01/dokument-konsekvenser-af-planlagt.html" target="_blank">document, count and map from 2012 and 2015</a>, and the <a href="https://redbyenstraeer.blogspot.com/2019/01/dokument-registrering-af-trer-og-krat-i.html" target="_blank">registration from Dec. 2018</a>. (Note: not translated, links are to the Danish version)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
City of the Elderly was also the battleground for <a href="https://savetheurbantrees.blogspot.com/search/label/M%C3%B8llegade" target="_blank">Møllegade</a>, where we spent three long years fighting for the small urban forest on the corner. As current events shows: the plan to "open up" and remove urban nature, is a well known exercise in prepping for future development.</div>

It didn't get any easier to be a Copenhagen tree in 2018, either. Carlsberg are unstoppable, Greater Copenhagen Utility (HOFOR) have zero regard for the trees in their projects and there are still no count of, rules for or supervision of our trees. On Blegdamsvej we stood helplessly by as we watched the city dig up vital roots and leave the rest uncovered, to dry out. In the De Gamles By, majestic old trees are endangered by incompetent design, the lake chestnuts have still not received the life extending care plan and on Islands Brygge, the administration planned to have the entire avenue of cherry trees felled.<br />
<br />
Then something happened.<br />
<br />
The citizens came together and let their voices be heard, and the cherry avenue became a subject for discussion. At a citizen's meeting attended by administration, planting developer and politicians (SF and Radikale), the trees finally became a subject of conversation. The green part of the administration are delighted to find the citizens so engaged in their work (the grey part: not so much). The important thing is that we finally are talking about *why* our street trees are suffering. And find ways to avoid it in the future. This entails among other things that we must hold back on the plant poison that is salt.<br />
<br />
It also turns out that the administration are keeping an eye on Facebook. They listen when we voice our concern and take note when a lot of us are expressing strong feelings about our urban nature. So stay in the fight. Together we can move this giant mountain. And next year we will save as much of De Gamles By, as humanly possible. <3<br />

Our politicians are these days planning to develop in De Gamles By (City of the Elderly), building parking lots, a school, businesses and a diabetes center. The latter on Nordpolen (The North Pole), the last remaining part of the old commons and home to the magical old hawthorn, older than Nørrebro itself. The wildest thing we've got. The political majority are either oblivious to the importance of history and nature, or they just don't care.<br />
<br />
Nørrebro is the most densely populated part of Copenhagen (times three the average!) and at the same time has the lowest amount of m2 green pr citizen. Now it makes sense why they felled so many trees along the years, for no apparent reason, "opening up" from all sides. An effective way to minimize the resistance, come building time.<br />
<br />
The big decisions are made in city hall these days. Save the Urban Trees will work closely together with the green forces to keep the North Pole safe from developing, and have it protected as a park.

In addition to all the other benefits, trees help cool the city, when it is aboil. This is the temperature difference between a street without trees and with trees.<br />

In May the citizens alert sounded: the City had in one swoop felled the entire row of wild (self-seeded) trees along Amagerbanen, the old rail track on Amager. The reason was a new pedestrian- and bike path, and along that grass clad concrete slides as part of the climate protection plan. Meaning: they felled big and healthy trees to better the climate. In what world does that make sense?<br />
<br />
And now the turn has come for Enghaveparken. On Monday the last of the total 69 trees (of 281), will be felled for the big climate protection plan in the park. They have promised to take good care of the remaining trees during construction and will also replant trees when they are done. As a citizen it is just so hard to understand how it is not possible to incorporate existing nature in these plans. Among other things, big trees can absorb and retain hundreds of liters of water daily. Why not take advantage of that, instead of focusing on the sole solution of concrete slides and tubs? A climate protection plan should also be defined as the protection of a climate, fit for humans?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let the past weeks dry heat serve as a reminder of how vital trees are for the city. We cannot do without them, simple as that.</div>

Today we celebrate a jubilee of the three first street trees in the city's road work on Blegdamsvej. It has been exactly one month since they had their vital roots cut, and they have since been left exposed under a layer of plastic. This is the equivalent of killing the trees. Roots so close to the tree must not be cut. And exposed roots need to stay moist, if you can't provide soil immediately. This is common knowledge by anyone who works with trees.<br />
<br />
There are plenty of strong and dedicated people in the city, who know about trees. But they are obviously not consulted during planning and coordination, and they are not present during roadwork near trees. It is an administrative disaster! If the city administration don't see a problem here, they are a part of it.<br />

Same project in the opposite end of Blegdamsvej. The area below the crown of the tree cannot under any circumstances be used for storing heavy concrete and equipment. The soil suffers compression, the roots are deprived of oxygen and the branches die.<br />
<br />
On the bright side they seem to have found a gentler way to remove the stone, with minimal disturbance to the roots in the too small plant beds. Maybe making noise really does make a difference? </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tomorrow TMU decides if funds will be granted to fell the ENTIRE cherry avenue on Islands Brygge. A mad plan from the administration, who have offered the trees living conditions so poor that 14 of them over time have died and been felled. They now wish to fell the remaining 131 trees: 122 cherry trees (about 20 years old), 4 rowans, 4 poplar trees and the big chestnut on the corner.<br />

<br />
None of the trees are sick, but they have been subjected to poor living conditions which is reflected in their growth. Last year the city added another layer of compacted gravel, all the way up to the trunks, which among other things robs the trees of water. And recently the city itself increased heavy traffic on the roots, which makes it even harder for the young trees to thrive.<br />
<br />
Rather than improving the living conditions and adjust their own behavior, the administration prefers to fell all and start from scratch with a new avenue. This goes against the new Tree Policy stating that trees "only be felled where absolutely necessary" and that "ensures good living conditions for existing trees".<br />
<br />
The proposal hides in a bigger plan to renovate and improve the Harbour Park. Miraculously, the local council Islands Brygges Lokalråd discovered it in the nick of time, and this buys the citizens exactly one day to stop it. The decision is made tomorrow.</div>

Copenhagen got a new board of Technical and Environmental Affairs. Venstre, consistently voting against the trees, are no longer in, but we got two new parties: DF and Alternativet. In the latest meeting they voted about trees. And as promised we are keeping an eye on how they vote, like on Monday where <a href="http://savetheurbantrees.blogspot.dk/search/label/Carlsberg" target="_blank">Carlsberg</a> applied for another dispensation to fell trees in the category "worth preserving". This time asking for seven of them.<br />
<br />
In favor:<br />
<span style="color: red;">Socialdemokratiet, Konservative, Liberal Alliance, SF og Alternativet.</span><br />
<br />
Against:<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Radikale, Dansk Folkeparti og Enhedslisten.</span><br />
<br />
This means the request was granted. Costing Copenhagen another 7 trees in the special category "worth preserving", one of which can be saved if, and only if, the neighbors fight for it during the neighbor orientation. We will keep an eager eye on that<br />
<br />
Asked why, the party Alternativet justified its approval by the assessment that it would be no major loss of biodiversity. To which we can only say that urban trees, and especially street trees as these, contribute with so much more than biodiversity. We will have to talk a lot more about this. </div>

In the printed newsletter by the city of Copenhagen, distributed to all households, citizens are this time reminded to salt (!) the sidewalks in the winter season. They go as far as to suggest the alternative of gravel, but that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whereas on Frederiksberg they made a small animated movie, telling the citizen: never <i>ever </i>use salt on the sidewalks. And they proceed to tell you why, suggesting alternatives and where to find them. For the sake of trees, groundwater, pavement, cars, bikes, dog paws and the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Although it can seem harmless, it is so much more harmful that one would think". This is how Frederiksberg describes salt. The same can be said about lacking information. This is just not green enough, Copenhagen! We absolutely must do better next winter. Ugh!</div>

A harmful myth has finally been busted, in the case of the salted lake chestnut trees. We have been fighting a senseless claim that road salt are simply being washed out into the sewer system, without playing a part in the serious health issues of the street trees. Now a <a href="https://www.norrebronordvestbladet.dk/vejsalt-stresser-soeens-traeer/" target="_blank">journalist have finally done what we hoped for,</a> and investigated the issue, separating claims from facts. Reading up on the 109 page report, of a three-year study in urban de-icing, talking to the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management as well as the city administration and now we have it in print: Yes, salt is weakening our street trees, and the reason that salt is still used and admittedly weakening the lake chestnuts are solely a question of a lack of funding, to do what is best.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is huge! The politicians wanting to help the trees now have evidence to raise a suggestion to fund proper care for the trees. In the meantime we have had a local election and a turn on the green knob, towards a greener representation. The rest of them we will just have to fight so much harder to win over.</div>

The mayor of trees and urban nature will continue on green hands, from next year with Ninna Hedeager Olsen (Ø), who already before the election invited us to a meeting about the tormented chestnut trees, when the unused funds from the budget are divided. The old chestnut trees must be spared salt, either by guarding them or replacing salt with caliumformiat, and the tree care team must be granted the funds for the three-year life prolonging plan in order for our old trees to stay as well as possible for as long as possible.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here we ask our coming tree mayor (as it later turned out) on Twitter, if the missing funds can be found outside the budget of 2018. Answer: "<i>Yes there is the budget transfer where the budget participants distribute unused funds. Lets meet and discuss the options.</i>" Second reply: "<i>Thank you I am happy to meet up with you and learn more. I am new in the Technical and Environmental area - so I have a lot to learn</i>."</div>

Once a year the <a href="http://dansk-traeplejeforening.dk/" target="_blank">Danish Tree-care Union</a> awards the Urban Tree Award at the University of Copenhagen: "An accolade for an extraordinary effort provided to secure- protect- or provide information about urban trees." Usually it is awarded hard-hitting pioneers and last year a city district, but this year they have bestowed the great honor upon Save the Urban Trees (Red Byens Træer, as we are called in Danish).<br />
<br />
For: "Persistantly fighting to preserve valuable tree plantings in Greater Copenhagen and by this contributing to alert citizens to the value of urban trees in the local environment."<br />
<br />
One of the city's gardeners approached me in the intermission with these words: "I don't think you quite grasp how big this is? This is the highest honor!" Slowly it sinks in. A heartfelt thank you to the Danish Tree-care Union for making such a brave and controversial choice, an invaluable support in the fight to save the urban trees. I promise that our movement will not rest on its laurels! </div>

Here is a piece of good news to start the weekend. The Winter Service stated that it is not possible to just mirror the cost of using caliumformiat on one side, to the other, so we asked them two questions: what then is the added cost of switching from salt to the safe alternative, and is it possible to include the loop by Fredensbro to the protective route, where seven old trees are currently skipped with catastrophical consequences?<br />
<br />
The answer arrived today: The added cost for caliumformiat, for an average winter on the road side, is 85.500 kr. These funds must be added, otherwise it would entail taking the gentle solution from nature reserves (which no one wants). And then it is noted that switching to caliumformiat won't magically change that the trees are troubled by pavement and various diseases (which naturally no one believes).<br />
<br />
And now for the good news: The Winter Service estimates that the loop makes such a small addition that it will be included in the protective route.<br />
<br />
This could mean the difference between life and death for the seven old trees, so big that you can't even reach around them in a hug (yep, it's been tested). Granted there are still salt accumulated in the soil, but in time it will wash out. We can only hope that we made it in time. Now we just need the old tree closest to the heavy traffic on Fredensgade protected from street salting (if all else fails, we will do it ourselves).<br />
<br />
Oh, this is just so good!</div>

<i>Mail to Vibeke Vedel from the Winter Service and Service Chief in the City Maintenance Jon Pape, from Save the Urban Trees Oct. 20 2017.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Vibeke and Jon, <br />
<br />
Greetings form Save the Urban Trees, as we have in horror observed the development of the trees along the lakes that are still salted. This goes for the road side and the spot on the lucky side, by Fredensbro, where the caliumformiat route skips and the salt sets in. I have attached pictures and illustrations. I don't think this is done in evil, but because there is a lack of understanding of exactly how much damage is done by salting these exact stretches. The salt is not just flushed out into the sewer system, but rather accumulated in the soil, causing the trees immense damage. Several arborists have inspected the trees that are still salted and they all agree that is causing severe damage.<br />
<br />
This is why we will attempt to make the politicians grant the funds needed for including the remaining lake trees to the caliumformiat route. In the hopes that we can keep our old trees a little longer.<br />
<br />
Two questions:<br />
What is the added cost of sparing the road side trees from salt?<br />
Is it possible to add the loop* by Fredensbro to the caliumformiat route?<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />
Sandra Høj<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Sandra Høj<br />
<br />
Thank you for the inquiry of Oct. 20 2017 regarding the cost of using caliumformiat on Søgade-side along the lakes and the loop by Fredensbro.<br />
<br />
The bike lane stretch along Søgade-side, where we are today using salt is approx. 8.550 m2. In the event that we need to use caliumformiat over salt it means an added cost of approx. 85.500 kr per season for an average winter (50 calls). Should we face a hard winter the m2 cost for the use of both salt and caliumformiat be doubled.<br />
<br />
We have assessed the possibility of adding the loop to our caliumformiat route. As we are talking about a very smalle stretch, we find that this can be done. Which is why in the future we will spread caliumformiat by the Fredensbro loop.<br />
<br />
As Jon Pape wrote you in a reply dated January 19 2017, we have been added funds so we can use caliumformiat on selected stretches. Here we have prioritized the use of caliumformiat where there is a special need for nature protection. We have not used caliumformiat on the stretches you are referring to here. Should we use caliumformiat on stretches like for example the Søgade-side, where we are today using salt, it would entail that we either reprioritise the stretches where we are today using caliumformiat, or it will mean an added cost to switch. As such, the distribution depends on further funding to finance the reorganization. It is worth noting that even if we were to switch to caliumformiat on the Søgade-side, the trees along the lakes are still facing hard living circumstances, due to disease and road work over time, affecting the roots, which switching to caliumformiat won't fix.<br />
<br />
Again thank you for getting in touch.<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

We have now entered the winter season, and the tormented chestnut trees on the road side of the lakes have not been pardoned. The Winter Service even denies that the trees are affected by the salt at all. That it is simply flushed out into the sewer system, without causing any harm. It makes no sense. The city knows perfectly well that salt is poison and that caliumformiat makes a huge difference. <br />
<br />
The reason for not protecting the lake chestnut trees: they are already having a hard time (!?!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is very hard to get employees in the city to contradict the management on this, as their livelihoods depends on obeying orders. This is why the pressure must come from the citizens, with nothing to lose (except the urban trees). If we as citizens don't protest, we will lose our lake chestnut trees much faster than need be. This will happen because the trees are denied life prolonging care and further the decay by salting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what we can do right now:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Argue for the political board on their last meeting before the election, decide whether the funds for caliumformiat can be granted for the road side of the lakes. The Winter Service informs us that it will only be done by direct political order.*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <a href="https://www.skrivunder.net/hjalp_sokastanjerne" target="_blank">Sign the petition</a> for the funds, allowing tree care specialists to prolong the lives of the old trees, over the next three years, and for the salt to be replaced with caliumformiat on the above mentioned stretch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*Made difficult by the fact that politicians consulting the Winter Service on the damages from salt on this stretch, are misinformed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other steps will be implemented if the first two don't work. To be continued...</div>

No more trucks on the old cemetery, already marked by the heavy traffic.<br />

A heartfelt thank you to our friends from Miljøpunkt Nørrebro and the Danish Society for Nature Conservation, for the fight.<br />

Thank you so much Lorry, for talking about the lake chestnut trees. The winter season starts on November 1st, so if the salt is to be replaced, it is last call. The people who care for the trees should get the funds they applied for, for the three-year plan to extend the lives of the old trees. Sign here if you want to help.<br />

The old lake chestnut trees are fighting to stay alive, and need our help urgently. The city of Copenhagen not only denied the department funds for a plan to prolong their lives, but also continue to use the toxic salt on the roadside of the lakes, to save money. This can't go on.<br />
<br />
The trees on the roadside are now so weak that they are continuously being felled for safety reasons. The many holes in the row and the burnt canopies, says it all. The citizens are the last hope. For this reason, we have <a href="https://www.skrivunder.net/hjalp_sokastanjerne" target="_blank">started a petition</a> to make the city fund the departments plan to care for the trees, and to stop the salting of the road side trees, effective immediately.<br />

The winter service informs us that an average winter season with caliumformiat costs 140.000 dkr, on this stretch. Caliumformiat is exactly twice the cost of salt, meaning the added cost of switching is 70.000 dkr. If the City of Copenhagen refuses to switch, we must insist that the old trees are in some way shielded from the salt. We request political action now!<br />
