The Elm Conflict (Swedish: ''Almstriden''), also known as the Battle of the Elms (Swedish: ''Slaget om almarna''), was a dispute and public protest on 11–12 May 1971. Organised by Alternativ stad (the Stockholm branch of Friends of the Earth), the dispute centred on the planned destruction of 13 Scots elm trees located at the entrance to the Kungsträdgården metro station in Kungsträdgården, Stockholm, Sweden. The Stockholm city council, supported by the Swedish government, proposed cutting down the trees to prevent damage to the nearby subway. The Elm Conflict led to an examination of the need for citizens to have more input into the decision-making process of the city council, and received significant attention in Sweden's national media.〔(Abstract in English of Daniel Helldén, ''Demokratin utmanas: almstriden och det politiska etablissemanget'' ). Stockholm studies in politics, Stockholm 2005. Retrieved 2 June 2014.〕 ==Background== In 1970, subway construction workers found a crack in the subway structure in the vicinity of the Scots elms. Officials decided that undertaking repairs would be too difficult, so they proposed cutting down the trees and placing the entrance to the new subway station at that location. Stockholm parks manager Holger Blom noted that because of their age, the trees would not last much longer regardless. Stockholm politicians and technicians tried to persuade the citizens via an advertising campaign that the trees needed to be removed. The city council voted 63 to 34 in favour of removing the trees.〔 On 23 April 1972, Prime Minister Olof Palme's government approved the final plans for the new subway station at Kungsträdgården.〔
