No felling during breeding season

In most cases it is not allowed to fell trees during breeding season, even if you do have an all-in-one permit for physical aspects. The breeding season lasts from 15 March until 15 July. During this period it is forbidden to deliberately disturb birds, their eggs and nests or their deliberate destruction or damage.
