Tree Hearing Will Determine Fate of 61-Inch Girth “Survivor” Elm in Old Greenwich

“Too often these removal requests reflect the view that trees are obstacles to be removed, not assets to be protected. This mature tree cleans our air, cools and shades us, mitigates storm water runoff and increases property values.  What beauty it brings to the neighborhood!”

– Greenwich Tree Conservancy


Neighbors say the tree blocks their view of oncoming traffic when turning left (north) onto Sound Beach Ave and impacts the safety pick up and drop off at Old Greenwich School.
