Tree at library The Norway Maple that graced the front yard of the Library for many years had to be removed as only half of the tree was viable. It had previously been wired to support weakened areas and it has had preventive treatments annually. For the past two years its removal has been discussed. The wind storm a few weeks took more branches and it was time. We are considering replacements. Our landscape architect has recommended two suitable replacements and we are looking into it.
