JAKARTA - The North Jakarta City Parks and Forests Sub-department said it had handled 6,007 trees prone to falling and splinters in six sub-districts in the area throughout 2025.

"Our officers carry out tree monitoring and pruning every day, including following up on reports from the public," said Head of the Green Line and Cemetery Section of the North Jakarta City Parks and Forests Sub-department (Sudin Tamhut), Habib Prabandoko in Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, October 11.

Habib explained that surveillance activities were carried out regularly to prevent accidents due to fallen trees, especially in the rainy season and strong winds.

"This step aims to maintain the security and beauty of the environment," he said.

Of the total handling, 146 trees were cut down, 437 trees were heavily trimmed, 4,051 trees were moderately trimmed and 1,239 trees were slightly trimmed.

In addition, the Tamhut Sub-dept. also followed up on 18 splinter trees and 116 fallen trees during that period.

Cuts are not only carried out to maintain safety, but also so that parks, green routes and residential environments remain neatly arranged.

His party appealed to the public to report if they found trees at risk of falling or disturbing their utilities. "Reports can be submitted through emergency services 112 or the DKI Jakarta CRM channel," he said.

He emphasized that supervision will continue to be increased considering the changing weather in Jakarta.

"Through this anticipatory step, we hope that the entire area remains safe, green and comfortable for residents," he said.
