Trees Cut Down:20 Trees to be Cut Down: 22 Total Lost: 42
Northeast Utilities is undaunted in its desire to remove 42 ancient Maple Trees on Maple Street. They have the permission of the town Tree Warden, Jim Koser, to remove all of them, save the one where an immediate abuttor requested a public hearing in time. In addition, dozens of other trees will be severely limbed.
It seems clear that they will be back in future years to remove additional trees, many more of which Mr. Koser estimates to be over 200 years old.
It is not too late to express your protest to town officials so that this destruction can be minimized in the future.
Thanks to all of you who have expressed your concern.

Who is this Jim Koser and why is he the tree warden? Did he ever stop to think if he lets all the trees be cut he will be out of a job. Are we to rename Maple St to Powerlline Road? It is so unthinkable that this could happen. Move your lines, leave our trees. It’s that simple
