If you're wondering what this topic is all about, the plan itself provides a nice primer. The very short story is that legislative changes in 2020 significantly diminished the extent of town tree warden jurisdiction and adopting a shade tree preservation plan restores/expands, to the degree a town might desire, the scope of tree warden jurisdiction.
