EAST MARLBOROUGH: Tree removal

Some people who live near Green Valley Road are unhappy with what they consider to be overly aggressive tree removal by PECO. In the past month or so the electric company's contractor has cut down many trees and sawed off branches along both sides of the winding rural road, from the Plantation Field driveway south to Route 82, near the Cheshire kennels. The tree-removal company left many branches and logs sitting alongside the road (which, I'm told, residents were allowed to collect for firewood). I drove through that stretch of road the other morning, and the change is certainly dramatic. I also noticed some wire rings and paper blobs still stuck in tree branches from the "Lights Festival" lantern launches at Plantation Field.
