“There is no more care for the trees”
“The fundamental problem – writes councilor Rino Nasti in a note – is that there is no longer care of trees, there is no agronomist, there is no agricultural expert, there are no gardeners, The trees need to be looked after and monitored, and in the Municipality's staff there are no such figures. For over a year, we have been asking that agronomists be found or new hires be made. Because it is not possible that a tree heritage, which has a naturalistic value, but above all economic, because the last trees planted have been paid for, is abandoned to its fate. It is a political attitude that we strongly oppose".
