Tree Warden's Report.
The Tree Warden of Westford respectfully submits the following report:
During the past year, the Tree Warden's work has consisted of the usual tree pruning, etc., and the destruction of brown- tail moth nests. The work of removing the nests from the shade trees is now completed, and we have found the number greatly increased over that of last year. In many parts of the town the woodland is badly infested, particularly where there are oak trees, the infested district extending into the woods from 50 to 150 feet from the borders. We have found no nests farther in than that, except in the tops of tall oaks which extend above the surrounding trees.
Many property owners have had the work done thoroughly on their land, others have done nothing about it as yet, possibly waiting for more favorable weather.
JAMES SPINNER,
February 25, 1907.
