The Širvintos municipality reported an incident involving a private forest owner’s property following recent weather events. According to the municipality’s social media post, a large tree from a private forest fell across a public road. While local workers managed to clear the main section of the fallen tree and move it to the side of the road, a subsequent section of the pine tree was cut and removed.
The property owner subsequently filed a police report, prompting an investigation into the missing portion of the tree. The municipality used the incident to issue a general advisory to all private forest owners. To prevent similar issues from escalating into unnecessary legal or logistical matters after severe weather, the Širvintos administration strongly urged property owners to take proactive measures regarding their land.
Specifically, they requested that owners promptly manage and remove any trees or debris that have fallen onto public thoroughfares. This advisory emphasizes the responsibility of the owner to maintain their property boundaries, particularly in the wake of storms that can cause significant damage to forest assets. The goal is to ensure that municipal resources can be allocated efficiently and that property disputes related to fallen timber are minimized.
The local government stressed that timely clearing of fallen trees is essential for maintaining public safety and maintaining clear access routes across the region.
