The Opac de l’Oise at work

The Opac de l'Oise has just been authorized to fell 24 trees in the Allée des Tilleuls in Beauvais. The decree was published this Thursday, November 7 in the collection of administrative acts of the Oise prefecture. These street trees (planted in a linear and regular manner) are located at the foot of a building that Opac is preparing to demolish.

From October 22 to November 5, a public consultation was held, without any opinion being collected.

As with the felling of the 137 poplar trees in Villers-Saint-Paul, the Oise prefecture considers in its decree that there is no alternative to this operation. This time, the prefect invokes “the destruction of building B for social reasons”.

Three trees planted for one tree felled

This slaughter must take place within the deadlines set by the prefectural decree, either before March 31 or after August 15 “in order to preserve the periods of sensitivity of the avifauna (the population of birds present at this specific location, Editor’s note) “. “Otherwise, warns the prefecture, before any tree cutting, the departmental council must be able to prove that there will be no impact on protected species (absence of nests, absence of nesting, no bats).”

Here again, these fellings will be compensated by the planting of new trees. So for each tree cut down, three will be replanted in the green spaces and parks of the city of Beauvais.
