For trees located in the public way, the Tree Warden makes the determination if it should be removed. Residents may call the DPW office to report the problem at (508) 533-3275 or by email at dpw@townofmedway.org.   Trees are removed only if they pose a significant threat to the public. If the tree is on private property, the Tree Warden will intervene only if the tree poses a threat to the public in the Town's right-of-way (street, sidewalk, park, etc.). Due to severe budget restrictions, general maintenance on trees is not performed.
