Traffic disruptions in Osnabrück: tree care begins in October!
From October 1st, the Osnabrück and Vechta districts will once again be dominated by annual tree care work. As Hasepost reports, these measures are essential to ensure traffic safety on federal and state roads. The aim is to remove or cut back old and diseased trees and thus ensure a clear view of road traffic.
The work itself extends from October to February and is carried out by road maintenance employees and external service providers. The focus here is not only on road safety for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers, but also on careful interaction with nature. The pruning and removal of the trees is always carried out with species protection in mind. The Lower Saxony road construction authorities also report that specialist staff regularly monitor the execution of the work to ensure that all legal requirements are adhered to.
Provided there are traffic disruptions
The above-mentioned tree care work can lead to minor traffic disruptions while it is being carried out. In some cases, half of the roadway is closed, which requires increased attention from road users. Residents and travelers are asked to show understanding for the necessary measures and to be patient during the work. It is recommended that travel times be adjusted slightly if necessary.
What is particularly relevant is that this maintenance not only ensures the clear space profile, but also focuses on protection against tree-dwelling and wood-inhabiting species. In the context of tree control and care, aspects of species protection law are becoming increasingly important these days, which the Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture also underlines. A seminar will take place there that specifically deals with these topics and offers valuable insights.
Seminar on species protection in tree management
The aforementioned seminar on tree control and care, which will be given an additional date on November 25th and 26th, 2025 due to high demand, will be led by biologist Stefanie Weigelmeier. The aim is to develop responsible solutions to avoid conflicting goals between traffic safety and nature conservation. Practical topics such as the biology of the most important tree inhabitants, which are important for maintaining biodiversity in our forests, are also covered.
In summary, it can be said that the tree care work not only improves traffic safety, but also makes a valuable contribution to nature conservation. It remains to be hoped that both residents and road users will cope well with the work and that the measures will have a positive effect.
