Not again!

On my way to work, I noticed since last month that several trees along that busy road is tied with plastic. The I remember the trees near my apartment had similar ties (but of different color) before they were cut down. I just don't think they are hazards because the neighboring city has more hazard prone trees yet they aren't cut down. Just hoping I'm wrong.uh oh

I do hope you are wrong and it was a colour meaning DO NOT FELL
Keep us updated please teddybear
Wait till the middle of night, then go and change the plastics to the trees you don't like anyway. Maybe the posts supporting the bus stop too. See what happens then.
The Plastic might have something to do with:

The "preserved tree system" and "preserved forest system" aim to preserve trees and forests in cities in Japan, and are operated by local governments.

OVERVIEW OF PRESERVED TREE SYSTEMS

Several local governments (Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture) included hedges in the target. The testimony of local government officials was also obtained: "The preserved tree system is less restrictive than other systems, such as the green conservation areas 7" As nearly 90% of designated cases (trees: 61,855, forests: 8,002) were based on the ordinances of each local government (MLIT, 2017), local governments were given a certain amount of discretion.

Several local governments specify conditions, such as "trees that have been popular as symbolic trees in the town" (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture), as requirements for designation. While the preserved tree system mainly targets greening and green preservation, the designation of trees with historical and cultural value is also made at the discretion of local governments.

Human Kind good only on destroying things....
Yep that's the evolution of humans...

Interesting ;D
First of all I want to apologize for not responding promptly. Been very busy of late.
@Fargo, thanks for giving the first comment. Just like what you've observed in Korea, there are some tree wraps like that here too. But the trees are really tied with white twines made of polypropylene. The kind we use in binding old newspapers. On one lane there are 20 trees with ties and on the opposite lane there are 11. Not sure how many trees on the opposite stretch of the road are tied. bouquet
@lonely todok, I've notice some wraps on some electrical posts here too. Not sure on the logic behind that other than cautionary reminder. Thanks for this rare visit Guess you're not lonely anymore because you seem to delete your profile.grin
@Exred3, thanks for your interest. Just amazed for evolving into a new variant 3. Your profile pic seems to exude embracing our advanced yrs. One of thee days I want to post a new picture too. banana bouquet heart wings
@Rob, Kasugai is near my place of residence. I never know that plastic is used to protect the trees. Never seen it in my vicinity. Thanks for this rare visit..
@Happycampero, hoping that the talks on climate change will have an immediate and positive impact. thanks for this ultra rare visit.
