Clinton's Downtown Tree Removal Complete

If you have driven around the downtown Clinton Square recently, you may notice a small difference.

Two trees in each corner of the square were recently removed. John Baker is the Chairmen of the Clinton Tree Commission, he explains the Commission had received some feedback regarding the way the trees were growing in front of the businesses in the corner of the square and they made a decision they needed to be removed.

The trees were resting in a concrete pot outside the downtown businesses. Baker says the roots of the trees already had a limited amount of space to grow in. He believes the right thing was done to remove those trees, and previously some other trees at the various four entrances of the square.

While the trees on the outside of the Square have been removed, Baker explains the Commission is currently working on continuing their growth of trees in the center square of the downtown area. He says their goal is to have a fall season look of maroon and gold.

The current trees that are left on the square have been stranded with Christmas lights, drawing attention to the open area left by the removed trees.
