#GreenPolicies The incentives for having trees in your garden in #germany are: You need to pay for regular inspections of tree health (expensive, time consuming), otherwise any damage caused by falling tree parts is your personal responsibility and the #insurance won't pay. It is not allowed to share those inspection costs with #tenants however, despite their being the beneficiaries. Therefore: the #incentive is to cut them down - otherwise it increases your costs and/or your risks.
