High-risk Angkor trees set to be felled, pruned

via Phnom Penh Post, 05 July 2022: In recent years the Apsara Authority has been paying more attention to the danger of falling trees to people and the temples, especially during the monsoon seasons.

The APSARA National Authority (ANA) announced plans to remove or prune more than 100 high-risk trees at seven temples and key areas in the Angkor Archaeological Park to ensure the safety of tourists and the public.

The ANA’s Department of Forest Management, Landscape, Culture and Environment will fell 23 trees and prune back the branches of an additional 128, according to its July 4 press release.

It said the project would not just increase public safety, but would improve the beauty of streets and temples around the Angkor area and within the park.
