The request is for the removal of three little leaf linden trees measuring 2 to 4 inches dbh (diameter at breast height) and one white oak tree measuring 6 inches dbh on Avenue Louis Pasteur near the intersection of The Fenway due to a green infrastructure pilot program being undertaken by MASCO to restore the historic tree canopy along the avenue.
The hearing will be held by the City of Boston’s Tree Warden (or designee). Please note that due to the current pandemic the hearing will be held as a virtual meeting via ZOOM. Written comments or questions may be submitted to parks@boston.gov prior to the hearing with “Fenway Tree Hearing” in the subject line. The information for the ZOOM hearing is as follows:
