Saxony: Report: The condition of the forest has deteriorated again

Dresden (dpa/sn) - The condition of the Saxon forest has deteriorated again after a phase of regeneration in the previous year. This is a key point in the forest condition report that Forest Minister Wolfram Günther (Greens) wants to present in detail on Friday in Dresden. Overall, the proportion of clearly damaged trees this year rose to more than a third, it said. Only about every fifth tree showed no damage. Günther's ministry spoke of a year that was too dry and too warm for the forest.
