Tree Warden

The Tree Warden is responsible for the care and control of all trees and shrubs that are located, in whole or in part, on Town-owned roads or properties, except those along state highways, which are under the control of the Commissioner of Transportation. Care and control extends to such limbs, roots, or parts of trees and shrubs as extend or overhang the limits of any such public road or ground. The Town contracts with an outside firm to do the actual tree work. Description of Services and Fees The Town pays the costs of work done on Town-owned trees, but may ask a property owner to share costs when the tree in question spans Town and private property.
