It is not uncommon for a Tree Warden to advocate for keeping a tree that is slated for removal or to post a tree for removal because of defects.
You should call the Tree Warden (652-7679) anytime work will be done on or around a public tree. A public tree is one that belongs to the Town because it is growing on Town property. This includes Town buildings, schools, parks, Town owned open spaces and rights of way.
Trees along State highways are not under the jurisdiction of the Town Tree Warden. The State of CT DOT manages the trees along the State highways.
