At the Marlborough Parks and Recreation Commission’s May 11 special meeting, Commissioner Dave LeJeune raised concern that Eversource recently removed trees by West Road Memorial Field and said the original plantings had helped with aesthetics and erosion control.
LeJeune recommended planting new trees, preferably slow-growing evergreens, to restore screening and reduce erosion risk. Chair Barbara Lazzari and Director Ray Bull agreed to bring the issue to the Town Manager for follow-up.
The meeting record does not show a formal directive, timeline, or a decision to fund replanting; commissioners recorded the concern and referred it to municipal management for further action. The commission adjourned at 6:28 PM.
