Dear Sirs,
I find myself doing a research about the legislation granting protection to monumental/ancient/big trees in several European countries and also in the international level.
I wanted to analyze what criteria exist in the legislation that allows the classification and protection of monumental trees. Can you tell me please, if there is, in Hungary:
a) national / regional legislation? If so, can you give me the website link?
b) There are well-defined criteria for distinguishing monumental trees from other trees (are they defined in the legislation). Are these criteria only about age / size or do they also recognize historical, cultural, scientific / natural and landscape importance?
c) There is a national/regional catalog for digital consultation with all national monumental trees? Can you send me the website?
d) What is the name used to designate those trees: in Hungary and in English.
Can you send me the information to:
raquelopes15@gmail.com
Thank you!
Best regards,
