Taipei Parks Office Clarifies Tree Maintenance Scoring System
Addressing online criticisms over scoring disparities, Taipei's Parks Office clarified that tree maintenance scores reflect work difficulty, costs, and equipment needs, rather than encouraging tree removal.
The Parks and Street Lights Office of the Taipei Public Works Department stated that online claims alleging extreme scoring disparities are misinterpretations. Tree pit maintenance only involves clearing debris and carries 0.2 points, whereas removing dead or diseased trees requires specialized personnel and equipment, earning 2 to 8 points based on size. The office emphasized that both work natures and costs differ completely.
Key takeaways
- The Parks Office noted tree pit maintenance requires no special skills and receives 0.2 points for cleaning debris.
- Handling dead or diseased trees requires specialized staff and machinery, scoring 2 to 8 points based on tree size.
