    In a water protection area no less.

    But who cares, it was planted monoculture anyways.

    With that argument you can cut down every single tree in Germany, because we don’t have any real forest anymore anyways. But who needs trees, if we have luxury EV’s.

      The Kellerwald forest and bits of Rügen are primordial. Lots of other patches of forest haven’t been touched in a long to long long time, and then let’s not forget commercial forests that aren’t monoculture but mostly natural. Clear-cutting is about the worst thing you can do to a forest, not just when it comes to ecology but also economy.

      IIRC it would take something like 100 years from a total memorandum on cutting down trees and Germany being fully covered in forest, again.
