The six trees, including five white oaks and one black oak on Williams Street, were proposed for removal because they conflict with middle school construction plans. The Tree Warden said construction could damage their root systems, increasing the risk of failure and eventual death. The denial is not necessarily final because an appeal is expected before the Select Board.
