To The Editor:
Recently, the Mattapoisett Selectmen acknowledged the work of the Tree Committee for their eighth consecutive Tree City USA award. We regret that the public recognition at the meeting did not fully reflect our committee’s and the town’s appreciation of our Tree Warden’s tireless efforts to plant and protect trees in town. The Tree Committee is lucky to have a strong partnership with Mattapoisett Tree Warden Roland Cote. Just recently, Roland and his Highway Department assistant, Louie Aiello, planted several trees on Mechanic Street and near the newly reconstructed bridge in Tinkhamtown. Our thanks to Roland and Louie for installing these beautiful additions to the town that help us merit our Tree City USA award.
Sandra Hering, Chairman, Mattapoisett Tree Committee
