On several places on the island trees have been cut that were close to electricity lines. When we first saw the trees being cut we were very upset so I asked the vice mayor mr. Angelos Xidaris for a comment. He said that trees close to electricity line need to be cut because during bad weather they fall on the electricity lines and whole areas on the island will be without electricity for many hours or days if the bad weather continues and the electricity company cannot reach the area and repair the damage.

New views towards Agnondas and Amarandos have appeared and to Limnonari and Elios. It is quite a change. Inhabitants of Skopelos that wanted the wood could come and cut pieces from the fallen trees or collect pieces of wood that were gathered somewhere on a plot in Skopelos.
It is quite a change and seemed pretty brutal when I saw it in progress, but I guess it makes sense. Iām sure in a year or two the land will settle and it might even be better than before?
Years ago when I was clearing the calderimi between Ag Riginos Pirgos and Platanakia, I contacted DHE for help to remove several leaning trees that were dangerously close to one of their power lines. They didn’t want to know. Now the one tree they’ve cut there is at the trail head. The one where the logo marker was hanging!
Still beautiful.
Thanks for the update.
