Picture yourself driving up Post Rd or headed to the golf course on Portsmouth Ave. You see the big, old trees that are a hallmark of New England and our quintessential, small town. Now picture all of those trees gone! EverSource is in the process of tagging and cutting down trees that interfere with the power lines. They have already cut down trees all along Portsmouth Ave and Cemetery Lane. There are over 30 trees on Post Rd marked for cutting in only 1/2 mile stretch.

Trees that are on town property were approved for cutting by the Selectmen and those on private property were approved by the homeowner. EverSource will tell you that the trees are diseased, a hazard, and cost the town money by having to trim the branches. These are trees that are old and beautiful and should not be cut down. If you are in agreement, please sign the petition so your voice can be heard!
