With Eversource planning to launch a pilot program of tree maintenance along major electric circuits, starting along a scenic roadway in Redding, the town is looking to protect the trees.  First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton led a lengthy discussion at the last Board of Selectmen meeting about tree regulations and a tree committee.  The tree regulation ordinance was created in December 2000, but one provision was not acted upon.  A tree committee was never created.  The Selectmen now have started discussions on what the charge would do.  A draft for example calls for 5 people on the committee, with an alternate, having staggered three year terms.  Those with  skills who know about planting and related topics would be sought to volunteer.  In the meantime, the Conservation Commission will draft a letter to Eversource about their Reliability & Resilience Program and the environmental impact and benefit of having trees.
