Time is running out for tree felling – the bird nesting season is approaching!

If you are planning to remove a tree on your property, Time to act! ⏳ In Poland, nature conservation regulations are in force that clearly define, when can trees be cut down without additional formalities.

In accordance with applicable regulations, the bird breeding season lasts from 1 March to 15 October, which means that There is very little time left to carry out the felling without additional restrictions.. After this time, it may be necessary to obtain special permits, and in some cases, to completely suspend work if there are protected nests in the tree in question.

 

Why is the breeding season so important?

Spring is a time when many bird species build nests, incubate eggs and raise their young. Felling the tree during this period could destroy a nest, expose chicks to death or disrupt the entire ecosystem. Therefore, in many cases, felling during the breeding season is prohibited or requires an ornithologist's opinion and a permit from the municipal or city office.

If the trees on your property are old, diseased, pose a threat to buildings or people – It is best to remove them as early as February, before regulations start to restrict the possibility of felling.

Is it permissible to cut down trees after 1 March?

Yes, but under certain conditions. After the breeding season has begun, logging is only possible if:

✅ The tree is dead or poses a threat to people and property.
✅ There are no nests of protected birds on it.
✅ The required permits have been obtained from the relevant authorities.
✅ An ornithological expert report has been carried out confirming the absence of bird activity.

These regulations apply both to trees on private properties and on company grounds or housing associations.
