In August 2021, multiple trees and <br />shrubs were cut within the wetland and 100-foot buffer zone to wetlands without prior approval <br />from the Conservation Commission. At the request of the Commission, Mr. Thibault agreed to <br />replace two Box Elder Maples with two Swamp White Oaks. Ms. Samuels stated that the Box <br />Elder Maple is a soft tree that tends to fall quickly and the Swamp White Oak would provide <br />better wildlife habitat. Mr. Thibault stated that no seeding is proposed because the groundcover <br />is intact and the property owner is only proposing to replace the shrub and tree layer that was cut <br />down. <br />
