Beirut Trees Dying or Firewood Traders

The article notes that the tree pruning activities in the streets of Beirut go beyond mere branch trimming, as they involve cutting down tree trunks to sell to firewood and charcoal traders. This practice is particularly prevalent as winter approaches, a season during which heating costs rise—wood sells for about $100 per ton, compared to $300 for a barrel of fuel oil. It is believed that the primary purpose of these activities is commercial exploitation of the tree trunks to meet the increased demand for firewood during the winter season.
