“Each year we look for a sately and well-ronded tree within 10 miles of Portland that a resident needs to have taken down. If seleted, the tree will be cut down and transported downtoan at no cost to the home owner,” said Portland City Arborist Jeff Tarling.

Rich Charette and the Bumblegum band will perform and a very special guest will light the tree.

I have a beautiful tree in my front yard that will have to be removed at some point because of a space problem. I am not sure how tall it is, but it was around 4 feet tall when I moved here in 1997.
I can send a picture if you might be interested. I live in Falmouth. You can reach me at 207-781-2129 or cell 318-7334. I live on Woodville Rd #45 across from the middle school. The tree is in the center of the front lawn.
Hi Kathy,
Thanks very much for that message. However, please contact the city directly as mentioned, not mhn.com, to make arrangements for this!
Good Luck,
Carol
