In southern resort province of Marmaris, inhabitants objected the controversial cut down of sweetgum trees under protection, for the stream remediation project by State Hydraulic Works.

The rehabilitation works have been launched within the two-kilometer-long area in 15 kilometers distance to the city center, near the Hisarönü neighborhood.

During the works of earth diggers, many sweetgum trees were cut off, which triggered outrage among locals. Various locals called the press and government agencies to demand end of cut down in the green area.

On the other hand, Marmaris Forestry Department rejected claims and told that the works have been conducted with respect to authorizations.

Hisarönü Headman Mehmet Taştekin added the works have been legal. "People have been suffering of floods every year, while tons of soil have been flowing into the sea. Many cattle have dropped like flies, due to floods. Trees that have fallen were blocking the soil and they should have been cleared off" Taştekin said, defending the cut off was "not in purpose for harming trees."
