Quick context to catch up fast.
The Tree Warden denied removal of two pin oaks at 32 Longmeadow Street after public objections were read into the record. The trees, measuring 28 and 29 inches, had been selected for removal because proposed construction by MassDOT could damage their root systems; the Select Board is scheduled to review the objections on March 23, 2026.

The two trees will not be removed based on this hearing decision. The Tree Warden cited concerns that excavation and grading could remove roots on one side, making the trees less stable during high winds. The Select Board will consider the public objections at its March 23 meeting.
