via Phnom Penh Post, 08 March 2022: Tree management at the Angkor Archaeological Park.
The Apsara National Authority (ANA) will fell and remove more than 100 trees from three important temple sites and some other areas in Prasat Bakong district and Siem Reap town, as they have a high risk of damaging temple grounds and important sites in the Angkor Archaeological Park.
“The ANA’s Department of Forest Management, Cultural Landscape and Environment will remove some trees and prune others to guarantee the safety of tourists and beautify the roads and temple grounds of the Angkor resort and other areas managed by the ANA,” it said in a notice on March 7.
ANA added that its teams began carrying out the work on March 7 and will continue until the work is complete.
