2 New Trees Planted In Foxborough Common

FOXBOROUGH, MA — It might take some years for them to grow, but two new trees planted in the Town Common will give the area a nice, shady spot for decades to come. On Monday, National Grid, in collaboration with the Foxborough Tree and Park Division planted two new sugar maple trees in the public square.

The trees were donated as part of National Grid's initiative to replace trees they cut down deemed potential electrical hazards. The Tree and Park division works with National Grid to identify potentially dangerous trees, especially ones hanging over wires, rotting, etc.

Dave Laliberte, the town's Tree and Park supervisor, said the department chose the Town Common as the site for the new trees and prepped the holes for the plantings. Contracted out by National Grid, Stanley Tree of Smithfield, Rhode Island, delivered the two trees and helped the Tree and Park Division plant them.
