Road works as a relay race are undermining the centuries-old trees are suffocated by the tar in place because no one has thought of the speaker covers
Varcaturo . Pines Smothering tar, which undermine life. The alarm is launched by WWF Lago Patria, seriously concerned about the fate of about fifty specimens of pine up to 20 meters high and the characteristic light brown bark and many cracks, which have always been characteristic of the relay route.
"We expected the work in the street like manna from heaven - said Lilliana Comes, WWF volunteer and resident of Lago Patria via relay - but they are doing damage to plants, irrespective of habitats for a tree like that. Instead of protective cast on each plant was spread asphalt and pine trees in danger of disappearing! "

For years, residents have been waiting for a major maintenance of the road, because of the presence of the roots of pine trees, shows a very rough and dangerous road for the cars, which over time have been the subject of countless injuries and accidents serious.
In making the sidewalks, among other things, aesthetically ugly and not as it should be paved in a central street Varcaturo that also hosts many local, the pines were treated the same way as the iron poles and advertising signs' asphalt to cover the areas devoted to pedestrians has been coated at the base of the trunk of the tree trunk even without taking into account the space for the filtration of rainwater.

Terreri, WWF volunteer and resident of Lago Patria in the street - phones trill, but none answers, nor the traffic police nor exchange of the Municipality. Only the Forest Monterusciello told me to refer to the party of Licola, which, however, does not respond. I wonder if this is the way of the road works and if you lose out Plants must be because no one thought to plan the installation of protective grilles. We ask the WWF immediate action of the City to verify the correctness of the work you are doing. "it possible that nobody thought to protect the pine trees that are characteristic of the relay route or is it a way to eliminate
