The Tree Warden shall develop, update annually, and administer a comprehensive
plan for the care, preservation, pruning, planting, replanting, removal or
disposition of trees and shrubs in parks, along streets, and in other public
property. The plan shall be submitted in June of each year to the Town Manager
via the Superintendent of Public Works and upon their acceptance and approval
shall constitute the official tree plan for the Town of Barnstable. The standards
and specifications contained within the plan shall apply not only to work
performed by Town forces but any private individuals or contractors who perform
work on public property. Nothing in said plan shall be inconsistent with this
chapter.
It shall be unlawful to trim, prune or remove any Town tree without
the approval of the Tree Warden and where applicable, approval of the entities
listed in § 121-18 above,
or to harm a Town tree by removing or otherwise damaging the bark and by attaching
signs or any other item to any part of the tree using nails or other device
that punctures the bark.
