LETTER: Save the Trees, Watertown Should Pass a Stronger Protection Ordinance

When we moved to Adams Avenue 26 years ago, one of the most appealing aspects of the property were the tall trees, many of them 100 years old, providing delicious shade in summer while housing our furry and feathery friends. This week, our neighbors announced to us that in order to rebuild their garage, they intend to remove the black cherry tree that stands taller than our three story house. It is rooted on our property line, along with a crab apple tree, which they also intend to remove.
