In order to build a field a number of trees will need to be removed. The project proposes the removal approximately 45 trees in the wetlands area, between the 30' no disturb buffer and the 100' wetlands buffer zone. No trees in the 30' no-disturb buffer will be removed. These trees are planned to be replaced one-for-one as conditioned by the Conservation Commission permits. An additional 218 trees will be removed from the upland area. To mitigate for the need to remove trees at the site, the field design includes a proposed tree replacement planting plan that will replant 221 new trees and shrubs. In 2018, and arborist assessed the quantity, size and health of all the trees impacted by the project, the data is approximate today.
