FITCHBURG -- A public hearing will be held Wednesday evening for residents to voice their opinions and concerns over Unitil's plan to remove and trim several trees along the scenic Mt. Elam Road.
The joint hearing with Tree Warden John Blanchard will be held during the Planning Board's regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. at the municipal offices at Putnam Place, 166 Boulder Drive.
Principal Planner Michael O'Hara said the hearing is necessary due to Mt. Elam Road being a scenic road -- a title it has held since the 1970s -- and the fact that many of the trees Unitil wishes to remove are also categorized as public shade trees.
He said there are about 30 trees that Unitil wants to remove completely and about another 1,000 the utility wishes to trim branches from that could be hazardous because they are hanging over wires.
Unitil spokesman Alec O'Meara said the plans for tree removal and trimming are part of the utility's hazardous tree removal program, but many that are being sought for removal are not within the standard vegetation management trim zones the company does on a day-to-day basis. Many, he said, have signs of decay, fungus and other qualities that make them likely to fall down and potentially hit power lines.
"The goal for tree trimming is to make the system more reliable when we have weather events occur, like a big thunderstorm in the middle of summer, or a snowstorm that's going to drop a foot of snow in season," O'Meara said.
He said Unitil and its system arborist, Sara Sankowich, are working closely with homeowners to both appease their concerns and ensure system reliability. O'Meara said Sankowich is also working closely with Blanchard and she should be at the public hearing.
"I feel our system arborist is very good at explaining to folks the work we're doing is helping to keep folks' lights on," he said.
O'Hara said that Conservation Commission member Michael Donnelly, who lives on Mt. Elam Road, wants to have the trees that are taken down replaced. Donnelly has said previously that he is prepared to make a proposal on behalf of the Conservation Commission that may help to mitigate some of the tree removals.

Public hearing to address tree removal on scenic Fitchburg road
PRINCETON A section of Route 206 between Ewing Street and Herrontown Road is scheduled to be closed for tree removal and pruning all next week.
The joint operation between Princeton and PSE&G is meant to prevent tree branches from interfering with power lines. It will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, Monday through Friday, municipal arborist Greg ONeil said.
Over the past three years weve had multiple long-term power outages and disruptions of services along that part of 206, ONeil said.
About 28 trees will be removed, ONeil said.
The section of Route 206 that will close is one and a quarter miles long. Detours will direct both northbound and southbound traffic onto Mt. Lucas Road. Delays should be expected.
Tractor-trailer trucks will be held at both ends of the construction area and allowed to progress along Route 206 intermittently.

The city of Sterling is once again offering a dead tree removal program. The program provides financial assistance to residential property owners for the removal of dead or dying elm trees from private property. Qualifying applicants will be reimbursed by the city of Sterling for one-half the cost of each tree removed, up to $250 per tree. Property owners will not be reimbursed for sales tax or any "secondary" work, such as removal and replacement of fences or repair of lawns or other incidental expenses.
Property owners must qualify on income level and they must reside at the address for which assistance is being requested. Commercial properties or rental units are not eligible.
To qualify for the program, homeowners must make a written application to the city of Sterling Department of Parks, Library and Recreation before the tree is removed. All trees will be inspected by the city and approval will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Financial assistance is not available for tree trimming or for the removal of healthy trees or stump removal. The program is designed to assist homeowners with the removal of trees that pose a threat of Dutch elm disease to the urban forest or a hazard to the public.
To receive an application and full details about the program, contact the city PLR department at (970) 522-9700, or 421 N. Fourth St., Sterling.

Tree stumps stand at the Old Redwood Highway interchange, the trees having been removed for Caltrans construction.
Recent tree removal in Petaluma to make way for Caltrans interchange projects related to the future Highway 101 widening has left some community members concerned about both the number of trees being cut down by the agency and the current lack of funding to replace the trees.
To date, no one has been able to tell us how many trees they've removed, said Tree Advisory Committee member and local landscape architect Tammara Norman. They also can't tell us what sort of tree replacement will occur because they do not have any financing lined up. We're talking about 25-year-old trees they took down, that they won't be able to replace for at least three years. How is that mitigating?
When the environmental impact report was performed on the Highway 101 widening project back in 2007, it was estimated that Caltrans would need to remove approximately 700-900 trees in the Petaluma area, to address both safety and right-of-way concerns. The EIR called for every tree whose removal left a major visual impact, to be replaced by a newly planted tree. Trees that were cut down but did not create a visual impact are not required to be replaced. The tree removal currently taking in place in Petaluma is in preparation for work on Highway 101 interchanges throughout town. The interchanges are being upgraded in anticipation of the eventual Highway 101 widening through Petaluma, though there is currently no funding for the widening itself.
According to the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, which coordinates projects in the county for Caltrans, workers are only removing trees that are absolutely necessary to complete the projects safely. To monitor their progress, an onsite biologist has been present at every tree cutting to keep track of the number of trees taken down and to make recommendations.
We don't have the final count yet, but we should within a month, said SCTA Projects and Programming Director James Cameron. The project is designed to save as many trees as possible and wherever we find opportunities to save the trees, we do that.
But not everyone is convinced Caltrans is exercising caution when removing the trees. Councilmember Teresa Barrett said that while no one has officially been counting the tree stumps in town, it appears that a large number of trees have already been removed, with more trees still needing to be cut. Barrett worried that Caltrans would exceed the allotted 900 trees by the time it finished. She also expressed concern that Caltrans does not yet have funding to replace the trees.
If Caltrans doesn't have the money, they aren't supposed to go forward with the project, said Barrett. You're only allowed to carry out this project because you can mitigate. Justice delayed is justice not provided.
According to Cameron, more trees could be cut than originally predicted if crews determine that additional trees must be removed for safety reasons. He said that he does not believe that has been the case to date.
Cameron added that Caltrans will begin replanting trees as soon as the Highway 101 widening project is completed sometime in 2016. He said that while they don't have the funds to replace the cut trees at this time, there are plenty of grant programs that will help them when they are ready to begin the landscaping portion of the project.

Taking out the hemlocks in front of the house. These trees were full grown when we bought the place over 40 years ago, and I have mixed emotions about taking them out. The risk to property and life is too great now to keep them. They will be missed.
