CMP Tree Pruning:
New Pruning is now happening, inside the Urban Compact Zone.
The Urban Compact Zone is bounded by Old County Road, from Lakeview Terrace to Thompson Road. Everything on the town side of that line is the Urban Compact, everything on the country side of that line is rural.

ANYONE who is on one of the streets listed below who wishes to be consulted before pruning should call CMP at 1-800-750-4000. You can go to their website and fill out a contact form at this link, Tree Care Consultation Request
If you do not get a response, please call city manager Rosemary Kulow at Rockland City Hall 594-0300. More information about the tree pruning program can also be found on the city website, http://www.ci.rockland.me.us
Here's the list of streets for the rest of the summer. If you are on one of these streets, and have questions, don't hesistate to talk to us if you have a concern. Again, I have been very pleased with the job they did out here on West Meadow, but it can't hurt to communicate.
Note: you may notice that many of these streets have already been pruned. That means that much of what is going to happen is corrective pruning. Doug Johnson from Treekeepers LLC has worked with CMP in order to develop a standard that minimizes cutting in town. Again, any concerns or questions, please call.
And the streets are:
Admontem, Amesbury, Broadway, Camden St. ( One tree removal by State Farm Office), Cedar, Center, Chestnut, Cottage, Fern, Fogg, Gay, Granite, Gurdy, Leland, Limerock, Lincoln ( Note: This is a construction job), Main, Masonic, N. Main, Park, Rankin, Sea Pro Line, S. Main St. ( One tree removal @ address 141, Summer, Talbot, Traverse, Trinity, Warren, Washington, Willow.
As per the agreement between the city and CMP, CMP will be following through with door hanging and securing contacts for the areas listed below, meaning, if you want to be consulted. Lots of people have asked to be consulted, and if you want to add your name to the list, the contact information is below. Much of the areas have already been door-hanged, but more will be done to cover the bases. Weather or other factors may change things, but CMP will keep all informed, and the city will, too.
Residents are urged to call CMP if they wish to be consulted before trees are cut in their vicinity, and/or to call the City if they desire additional assistance. Information about the pruning areas will be posted on TV Channel 22 and the City's website. http://www.ci.rockland.me.us
