The approved work targets invasive growth near the riverfront and will not be charged to the Community Gardens budget for the willow removal. A separate request to remove 45 trees at the Longmeadow Country Club was not decided; the discussion was continued to March 11 so the Commission can review an arborist’s report, restoration plans, and site conditions. The Commission reported that $216,186 had been spent from the riverfront project account, with $103,463 remaining.
