Triumph of the trees: An Andover celebration
ANDOVER — Trees are getting quite popular in town. About a year ago the town created a Tree Committee to look after the town’s leafy friends. This year the community will learn about trees, celebrate Arbor Day and get some seeds at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 26, at the intersection of Andover Street and Clark Road. Attendees will learn about the history of Arbor Day as well as the Andover Tree Committee. The committee came about alongside a new tree policy which emphasized stronger communications with residents about tree removal and the planting of their placid neighbors. Trees can have many benefits beyond aesthetics, with effects including decreasing heating/cooling costs, decreasing pollution, increasing property values and in some cases calming traffic, according to officials. An Eastern redbud tree will be planted during the event. Parking will be available at the Fire Station playground. A tree inventory of Andover conducted between November 2020 and March 2021 looked at more than 16,000 trees, stumps and sites suitable for new tree planting. The group recommended the total planting of 3,607 trees, with a goal of 50 per year. The study, which was conducted by Davey Resource Group, found that 86% of the examined trees were in fair or better condition, however they found an “overabundance” of maple trees. The report continued that the overabundance of maple presents a risk of an outbreak of disease or insects that target maple trees. The study also found 1,267 trees or stumps that should be removed. Attendees will come away from the event April 26 event with seeds for a Holly Winterberry and Washington Hawthorn.
