From: Beryl Lipton

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, I hereby request the following records:

The most recent list of tree wardens by municipality as described by MA General Laws Chapter 41, Section 106 (https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleVII/Chapter41/Section106)

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

Good Morning Mr. Lipton,

This email is in response to your email to Commissioner Watson dated November 11, 2014 requesting a list of tree wardens by municipality. After an inquiry to Department staff, this Department does not maintain a list of tree wardens in Massachusetts. However, staff provided a website that should have the information you are looking for. It is the Mass. Tree Wardens and Forest Association's website at: www.masstreewardens.com<http://www.masstreewardens.com>.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
