Phoenix News: This newspaper reported on the phenomenon of some roadside trees in Shijiazhuang city being tied up with LED light strips, which affects the normal growth of trees, under the title "Under the bustling night scene, the big tree tied with colorful lights is disfigured". After the report was published, it immediately attracted the high attention of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Garden Bureau. The entire garden system has been arranged and deployed. Starting from the 20th, the Municipal Garden Bureau will unify the deployment, and all district garden bureaus will take unified actions to carry out the "Loosening Trees" action, starting from the centralized rectification and cleaning of tree attachments in the main streets and small streets of the city.

Action: The city launches the "Loosening Trees" campaign

After the report was published, it attracted high attention from the Shijiazhuang Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture. After research, it was decided to launch a special rectification campaign targeting tree ties in five districts of the city.

The reporter learned from the Greening Department of Shishi Garden Bureau that the centralized rectification action carried out by the Shishi Garden System has already begun. The action is led and organized by the Municipal Garden Bureau, and the specific implementation work falls to the garden bureaus of each district. The garden departments of each district will uniformly clean up and rectify the various types of trees that are tied up in their jurisdiction.

The staff of the Greening Department of the Municipal Garden Bureau told reporters that in the special rectification activity of "loosening ties for large trees", they require all district garden bureaus to not only clean up some lighting facilities such as light strips and light boxes tied to trees, but also iron wires, nails, and other tied objects on trees. Any attached objects on trees that hinder normal growth without the approval of the garden department must be cleaned up.

On site: Zhonghua Street: Clearing the attachments on the trees, saws and scissors are deployed together

On the morning of August 23rd, the reporter visited some streets in the city and found that in the main roads or small streets, the staff of the Garden Bureau were all taking action to clean up the attachments on the trees.

At the intersection of Zhonghua Street and Gaozhu Road, the reporter met Captain Gao Wenkui from the Greening Management Department of Xinhua District Garden Bureau. During the "Loosening Trees" operation, the cleaning of tree attachments in Xinhua District mainly fell on Gao Wenkui's shoulders.

When the reporter saw Gao Wenkui and his colleagues, they were preparing to remove the colored decorative cloth tied to the trunks of several roadside trees next to Zhonghua Street. Gao Wenkui told reporters that the decorative fabrics on these trees were privately wrapped up by a nearby real estate developer. He had already communicated with the developer before, and today he rushed over with workers to clean them up.

Because the decorative cloth is mainly wrapped around the tree trunk and not very high, Gao Wenkui did not use a high-altitude work vehicle. Instead, he worked with the staff of the Garden Bureau to saw and cut off the decorative cloth on the tree one by one with a high branch cutter and high branch saw. We have been cleaning forty to fifty trees every day for four days now

Tan Gu Xi Street: Staff found ladders to clean up attachments at high places

In addition to the main roads in the city such as Zhonghua Street, the actions of garden workers are also very fast for some small streets and alleys. There are several barbecue stalls on the section between Huaizhong Road and Huaibei Road in Tanggu West Street. In order to attract customers at night, they have installed spotlights and light strips on the big trees in front of their doors.

In order to remove the tree attachments such as spotlights and light strips in this area, the staff of Yuhua District Garden Bureau began to communicate with these restaurants early on. At 11 am on August 23rd, the five Garden Bureau staff who had already done the work for the merchants brought ladders and scissors to prepare for tree cleaning.

According to a staff member surnamed Li, since the Municipal Garden Bureau launched a special campaign to loosen restrictions on large trees, the Yuhua District Garden Bureau has concentrated on cleaning up 50-60 areas.

After notifying the merchant to cut off the power supply on the tree, the staff carefully climbed up the ladder, step by step, to the high branches. Then, holding the ladder with one hand and pliers with the other hand, they untied the wire tied to the tree in circles. Five or six minutes later, the wire tied to the tree was finally untied, and the loose spotlight was taken down by the staff of the Garden Bureau.

After removing the spotlight and handing it to the merchant under the tree, the staff used scissors to gradually cut off the small LED light strips wrapped around the tree trunk and clean them up. Then carry the ladder and walk towards the next shop.

Difficulty: Every dismantling of a lamp requires the work of a merchant

In the conversation with the garden staff, the reporter learned that the most troublesome thing for the staff to remove the attachments on the trees is not how to clean them, but to do the work of various merchants who wrap the big trees in advance.

Although it is wrong for these merchants along the street to wrap around trees and set up unrelated items without the approval of the landscaping department, we need to communicate with each merchant one by one during the cleaning process, do their job well, and obtain their permission and support before taking action, "Gao Wenkui told reporters

Gao Wenkui's statement and approach have also been recognized by the staff of Yuhua District Garden Bureau. In fact, according to the Urban Greening Management Regulations, the practices of these merchants are already wrong, and many citizens simply think that cleaning up is enough. In fact, it is not as simple as imagined, "Xiao Li from the Yuhua District Garden Bureau told reporters." Take the road section we cleaned up today as an example. The spotlights and wires on the trees are all powered on, and merchants need to use them at night. If communication is not good, the merchants' electricity cannot be stopped, and it is impossible to remove the lights and wires on the trees. If you go up and dismantle them directly, you will get electrocuted, which is very dangerous, "the staff member told reporters.

Progress: Multiple streets in the five districts of the city have been cleared

The reporter learned from the Shijiazhuang Municipal Garden Bureau that, under the unified requirements and arrangements of the Municipal Garden Bureau, and the unified actions of the garden bureaus in various districts of the city, the "Loosening the Trees" campaign began on the 20th with the active efforts of the staff. After several days of work, the cleaning work of multiple streets in the city has been completed, and the remaining part will be cleaned up by the end of August.

The staff of the Greening Department of the Municipal Garden Bureau told reporters that in this operation, in addition to uniformly cleaning up the attachments on trees that are privately built and wrapped by merchants and individuals, for some large tree night lighting projects that are arranged by the government and have been approved, if the bundling method does indeed affect the growth of trees, it should also be standardized and organized.

It is reported that in this event, the Municipal Garden Bureau requested that each district bureau, based on the situation of each district, be responsible for
