Even when it is a private sphere, but public in nature, the neighbors used social networks to mobilize and repudiate the felling of an old pine located inside the Governors’ Residence.
There was even no shortage of those who have uploaded videos while a crew of workers carried out the task of removing that species.
The complaints and anger of the neighbors demanded an official explanation regarding the replacement in the garden of that public building in recent days.
According to the government, the measure was taken following technical criteria and safeguarding the integrity of the people and the historic building.
The official explanation is that technicians removed the tree that had grown disproportionately, and compromised the structure of the house, affecting walls, floors and the operation of the sanitary facilities.
In addition, some of its branches presented a fall hazard, which put the health of the people who live and work there at risk.
To avoid major inconveniences, the extraction of the tree was arranged. Operators worked in the place with all the security and sanitary measures in the current context.
Instead, new specimens of jacaranda, ceibo and other native trees were planted, guaranteeing replacement and creating better security conditions.
