Selections are made from applications arriving by April 15 each year. Priority will be given to residents whose site enhances the neighborhood’s visual appeal. Only one application per property is allowed. The Athol Shade Tree Commission reserves the right to deny an application if the proposed site does not meet ASTC guidelines, according to a note on Athol’s town website.
Landowners are required to dig the hole and plant the tree, which must be kept watered through the first growing season to ensure success. The application is available at:bit.ly/2o3BWRb.
