Trees marked and armed.
At Certitude, trees have been marked by some individuals hired by the secretary’s office. Apparently, these individuals have been allegedly asked to survey and mark every tree and house between the crown and the ring road. Aurovilians living in the community have asked them to leave.If it’s all around its sure death. Foresters tell that this will very badly damage the tree and some types of trees won’t recover.
An announcement has been made by the illegally appointed ATDC with as usual threats and authoritarian. The procedure of marking used here is outdated and invasive. Other methods are available which doesn’t arm trees.
An Aurovilian expert on tree referencing, a selected member of the TDC, already did a detailed survey. See here.
