Free leadership in the large garden: background to tree closures

In the large garden in Dresden, a lot is happening. With a free public tour on July 17, 2025, visitors can enjoy exciting insights into the structural conditions and the condition of the trees. Dr. Claudius Wecke, the head of the Gardens of the State Palaces, Burgen and Gardens Sachsen gGmbH, will lead the approximately one -hour leadership. The meeting point is on the Palais in the large garden, on the jewelry side, and the tour begins at 2 p.m. Registration is not required, so just drop by and participate!

But why are closers in the large garden at all? These are due to tree care work and the impending danger of breaks. In particular, the continuing drought is a challenge that already led to similar closures in March. "Schlösserland Sachsen" appealed to the closures to take them seriously because falling branches can be dangerous. Dead wood removal is also currently planned to ensure the safety of walkers.

tree care work and felling

But that's not all: from October there are about 300 trees on the list that must be felled to secure the health of the trees. That sounds like a good amount! A specialist company will also take care of the nests of the oak processionary spinner, which can also represent a source of danger. In addition, there will be around 80 new plantings of oaks and linden trees in the autumn winter season to maintain the garden monument in the long term and to ensure that green oases will continue to bloom in the future.

The fact that these measures are necessary also lies due to the valid regulations on tree protection. Trees can be protected by municipal tree protection regulations and other provisions. A felling of protected trees is generally prohibited, while many non -protected trees require official approval. According to the Federal Nature Conservation Act, the TU is set if they are in accordance with the general or special species protection explicitly explicit .

regular replanting for the garden

Despite the challenges that the care of such a historical garden brings, the large garden remains a popular destination for the Dresdeners. The team around Dr. Wecke has a good knack for the preservation of this important greenery, which not only serves to relax, but also offers a valuable habitat for many animals and plants. In addition to the immediate measures, regular replanting is a central point to permanently promote biodiversity.
