WILMINGTON, MA — The Town of Wilmington will be working with an arborist consulting firm again this spring to continue with the town-wide roadside and park tree inventory and risk assessment that was started during the spring 2015.
The work is part of a proactive approach to prioritizigng pruning and removal schedules for the Town’s street and park trees, thus helping to reduce risk and losses associated with hazard trees.
The work will also serve to inventory the Town’s urban forest canopy using GIS technology and will help identify problematic insects and diseases which may be treatable if found early.
This year’s work is funded by the Urban Forestry Challenge Grant, which was awarded to the Town of Wilmington by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Questions about this project may be directed to Jamie Magali, Operations Manager and Tree Warden for the Wilmington Department of Public Works at 978-658-4481.

You need to remove a tree on Swain Road right after you turn off Rt. 62. It is leaning over the wires and a real danger.
