City of Framingham Department of Public Works to Conduct Tree Pruning March 10–21
FRAMINGHAM - The City of Framingham’s Department of Public Works will be conducting tree and shrub pruning from March 10 to March 21, 2025, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
This work is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain safe and healthy trees while ensuring clear visibility and access along public streets and sidewalks.
Over the next several weeks, City crews will be trimming trees and shrubs that overhang the public right-of-way. Pruning is essential for public safety, tree health, and the reduction of obstructions to street signs, lighting, fire hydrants, sidewalks, vehicles, and roadways. Additionally, any trees that are decayed, insect-infested, damaged, or structurally weak may be removed to prevent potential hazards.
All pruning will be conducted using industry-standard techniques to promote tree health and structural integrity while ensuring proper clearance. Work will be completed and/or overseen by certified arborists, and all debris from the pruning program will be cleared and removed.
Residents can find more information, including maps of designated pruning zones, by visiting www.framinghamma.gov/treepruning.
