Former alderman George Mansfield says we're city of 85,000 people. This needs to be publicized.

36" red oak City of #NewtonMA mayor would cut down for incremental impact on roof solar panel output Angier Elementary School. youtu.be/4LGWsUdPaPQ Arbor Day Foundation Urban Forest Crimes Waban Library Center Parks, Recreation & Culture Village14 Newton TAB NewtonTreeConservncy The Boston Globe

All 12 interior #trees Newton Free Library parking lot would be cut, & berms eliminated, to install Ameresco #solarcarports & increase parking. Worth it?

Less and less space for trees overall, and on individual lots as smaller houses are torn down.

#NewtonMA Urban Tree Comm monthly meeting tomorrow 12/21, 7:45AM, City Hall rm205. Agenda includes phase 3 Solar, Tree Preservation Ordinance/significant trees. Guests welcome. newtonma.gov/civicax/fileba…

How many trees are in your city? It might seem like a straightforward question, but finding the answer can be a monumental task. citylab.com/environment/20…

Good to see! berkshireeagle.com/stories/north-…

Glad they included columnar sweetgum. We'd add 'Newton Sentry' sugar maple, if you can find it. savvygardening.com/narrow-trees-f…

Public trees including Library parking lot would be cut, some smaller ones moved, and larger ones "trimmed" (topped?) for Phase 3 Solar. Public hearing 7pm tonight.newtontreeconservancy.org/blog/blog/2019…

How much would come off top of Angier oak because it would shade roof solar? #NewtonMA #trees Public hearing 7pm tonight #NewtonMA City Hall Council Chamber.

Checking NewtonTreeConservncy planting spots for #gasleaks w/Gas Safety USA. 90+% gas both sides of street at 52 Cherry. Bob thinks it's cracked main. National Grid US came fast but w/o flame ionization unit! #NewtonMA #trees Newton Fire James Cote Emily Norton Mayor’s Office, City of Newton

Pruning some #trees planted Fall 2015 in Russell Rd. Here's before&after of a power. #NewtonMA

Fall 2015 Kentucky coffeetree looked great; just needed a little pedestrian clearance. That pruned-off branch is all this year's growth. #NewtonMA #trees

Another #NewtonMA ash tree (10" DBH) being killed by Emerald Ash Borer. 188 Comm Ave. At least 4 exit holes visible at eye level. This is what #EAB damage looks like. #trees #goodbyeNewtontrees

Zelkova we grew from Arbor Day Foundation seedling, transplanted spring 2018, had major branch torn off but seems to be recovering. #NewtonMA #trees

London plane Arbor Day Foundation seedling, also transplanted spring 2018, growing like gangbusters. Did a little lower branch removal & reduction. #NewtonMA #trees

Third Arbor Day Foundation seedling, sweetgum, also looking great. Lots of new growth & clear central leader, typical of species. #NewtonMA #trees

10" & 8" lindens down on Albemarle. Each had some degree of adventitious roots at break.

Albemarle north of Crafts. The Fall 2013 catalpas have really taken off! And you call tell there was some flooding earlier this afternoon.

Seven #gasleaks reported to National Grid today at tree planting addresses. Some we have room to avoid leak & still plant. Others not. )-; #NewtonMA @MOFront_newton
