Letter_Trees in Fairhaven

August 13, 2025 by Staff Writer

Trees in Fairhaven

The trees in Fairhaven are a precious resource. It is our respon­sibility to care for them.

I am writing to address the tree cutting and lack of re-planting in our beautiful town. I walk around town and I see the stumps and I wonder whether nearby homeowners were notified. It seems they were not.

Some questions:

Will the dangerous stumps be removed?

Where is the trained, qualified tree warden, required by state law, who is attending to these issues?

Is there a plan for planting more trees? Is the plan public information?

The trees of Fairhaven provide shade, beauty and oxygen for our warming planet.

I am asking for a public discussion of this important issue.

Mary Beth Yarmac, Fairhaven
