In order to request a budgetary R.F.Q. to move before Town Council as the 2025-26 fiscal year budget review process takes place, we are polling the Tree Board members as to which area to focus first: Main Street Nature Park, Lake Louise, or the Town’s rights-of-way. This inventory will not only enhance our understanding of the local ecosystem but also contribute to improved community wellness of the tree canopy. Trees play a crucial role in air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and offer recreational opportunities for residents. A thorough inventory will inform our urban forestry management practices, helping us to maintain and enhance the health of our trees, which in turn supports biodiversity and climate resilience in our town.
