New Tree Warden says “thank you”
My name is Don Collasius and I am your new Tree Warden
I would like to thank all the folks who supported and voted for me.
I will work diligently to insure you do not regret your support for me. I will do all I can to make Fairhaven greener and safer for all who dwell and pass through our lovely town.
One Friday April 9th I was officially sworn in. But that is not to say I have not spent the days before that coming up to speed on the challenges ahead and ways to work through them.
I have met with numerous town officials in both the town hall and the BPW. I have met with representatives of Eversource. I have found them all to be both professional and supportive. I believe we all have the common desire to make Fairhaven the best it can be.
The official Tree Department phone number is 508-922-1222. Anyone requesting services I urge to call or text. Please leave me your full name, address, and a brief description of the issue you would like me to address. Be it pruning, planting or removing a tree. I will get back to you and I will do all I can to address your issue in a timely manner. Please note the tree can be anywhere in town, not just in front of your house.
There is also a page on the town website that has a request for services. You can use that but I do not yet have a town email address and that mode entails someone forward it to me. It’s better to call at this time.
I have a short list of backlogged requests for service. I would encourage anyone who has requested services in the past and not received them to request again. I’m sorry about that.
I am hoping to have an Arbor Day event on April 30 to jump start my term. I hope you can be there to lend a hand planting trees, or be there in spirit hoping for a new and better year ahead of us. I will update you on this when plans are solidified.
Thanks so much,
Don C. Collasius, Fairhaven Tree Warden
