Public Hearing on Tree Removals in Multiple Locations Announced

The Dept of Parks & Recreation, Parks & Trees division issued a notice about a public hearing on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 1:00pm concerning the removal of trees on Oval Ave, Sound Shore Drive, Arch Street and Summit and Sound Beach Avenue.

The tree warden shared a link to information on Eversource’s website on “Why Eversource Trims Trees

Ensuring safe, reliable electric service requires thoughtful, professional tree trimming around our power lines

Whether you live in the country or along a shady street, trees are one of the best features about living in New England. Trees are an important part of our community – helping to beautify the neighborhoods we call home.

However, trees are also the leading cause of power outages in New England—especially during stormy weather. Every year, tree limbs, branches and roots come in contact with the thousands of miles of electric power lines Eversource maintains–damaging equipment and causing public safety hazards.
