Tree Warden and Tree Management Page
There are over 4000 "street" trees in Montpelier. Street trees are in the public right of way, or trees that are close enough to sidewalks and roadways to have an impact on the public. The health of those trees either enhances the beauty of our right of ways or becomes a hazard.
If you are aware of a tree that is a hazard or needs attention please contact the
Tree Warden, Geoff Beyer at:
gbeyer@montpelier-vt.org
Much more information coming soon about tree health, care and hazards.
High School woodshop students make tree grates
Tree grates and guards are expensive and this fall there were a number of trees without tree guards, important tools to protect street trees. Street trees grow with limited soil, water and space. When they grow successfully they usually grow slowly so the city has a big investment in successful street trees. When some students from an advanced woodshop class were looking for projects they ended up signing up to make some experimental tree guards to see 1. if they could be made affordably 2. Beautiful and 3. Functional. I believe they are a big success. The last test is to see if they hold up the test of time and all the challenges they face in protecting the trees they surround.
Many thanks to Instructor Jason Miles, Community Based coordinator Matt Mclane, lead student Nick Tilton, Ryan Wells, and Grayson Lavigne for their dedication to doing a such great job and attention their attention to detail!!!
