Aakær Estate, located just outside Odder, is behind a series of the mysterious tree felling incidents in Odder Municipality.
In the fall of 2024, tree felling incidents occurred on multiple occasions - both on the municipality's land and on the estate's own property.
And now, the estate owner's lawyer, Jens Glavind, confirms to TV2 East Jutland ( https://www.tv2ostjylland.dk/odder/godsejer-star-bag-nogle-af-de-mystiske-traefaeldninger-fortaeller-advokat ) , that the estate is behind some of the felling incidents.
It has not yet been possible for DR to secure an interview with the estate owner's lawyer.

The case is with the police
-------------------------
Odder Municipality has reported the tree felling incidents on the municipality's land to the police. And in total, East Jutland Police have issued seven charges ( https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/seneste/oestjyllands-politi-rejser-syv-sigtelser-mod-personer-i-traefaeldningssag ) based on the many felling incidents. One of the charges is also for theft of the trees.
There is disagreement between the municipality and the estate's lawyer about whether tree felling incidents along waterways on the estate's own land are illegal.
According to the municipality, it is covered by paragraph 3 of the Nature Conservation Act.
- This means that even if a waterway is on one's own land, one may not simply fell trees and destroy the natural flora and fauna that is there, says Helle Bøhl-Møller, chief of Technology and Environment in the municipality.
Lawyer Jens Glavind confirms to TV2 East Jutland that Aakær Estate has been reported to the police, but he does not wish to disclose whether the estate has been charged.
