Selective tree removal will be conducted within the Rail Trail right-of-way (north of Fruit
Street), an Airport -owned property northeast of the Rail Trail (Lot 34-115), the town -owned
property where the animal shelter is located (Lot 36-148), and several private lots where the
Airport Commission has purchased avigation easements. Removal of trees from Town -
