Commission flags dead trees, approves replacements from tree fund
Summary
After several storm-damaged and dead trees were identified, the commission confirmed a tree-replacement plan funded from the tree replacement fund ($3,683.19 available) and described purchases totaling $1,179.66 for new specimen trees to restore canopy and protect monuments.
Commissioners reviewed recent tree losses and a plan to remove hazardous trees and replant from the cemetery's tree-replacement fund.
Staff reported multiple trees died this year and showed commissioners a split oak that threatens the last beach tree; DPW will remove hazardous trees. The commission said it will replant where trees come down and cited a current tree-replacement fund balance of $3,683.19 and planned purchases totaling $1,179.66 for a mix of dogwood, smoke bush, butterfly bush, cherry and red-maple varieties.
Commissioners agreed the replacement plan is affordable within current funds and that removals should proceed where safety is a concern. "They did an awesome job cleaning it up," one commissioner said about recent DPW work near Island Pond.
