The Tree Warden is locating planting sites in existing empty tree wells along School Street, Concord Avenue, White Street, and Trapelo Road. At Chenery, construction damaged pine tree roots, leading to removals, but the project’s replacement plan calls for three new trees per removal. The committee will seek a project update and is working on a municipal tree bylaw targeted for submission to the Fall Town Meeting.
