On the map you see different colored dots: Green dots represent a tree that is allowed remain, is a yellow dot a requested felling of a tree. This applies to all blue dots objections to the felling permit can still be lodged. This is not possible with all red markings more; the objection period has then ended. The felling permit will then be granted definitively and irrevocably, unless an objection has been lodged and an objection period will run.
