Public Works Department

Bethel's acting Tree Warden is Rolf Brandt. He is responsible for ensuring the health and beauty of all the trees located in the Town right-of-ways. Trees located on private property are the responsibility of the individual homeowner. The Town reserves the right to request that trees obstructing sightlines for traveling motorists be trimmed back.

Below is a link to CL&P's Tree Trimming Request Form
If anyone needs trees trimmed by CL&P fill out this request

To schedule an inspection of a suspect tree (diseased, dead or dying, please call 203-794-8549 to leave the following information:

• Your name
• Street Address
• Phone Number
• Location of tree in question (across from driveway, next to driveway, between our properties, etc.)
• Kind of tree (i.e. Maple, spruce, oak, or white pine, etc.)

Within 24-48 hours a representative from the Public Works Department will be dispatched to examine the tree and mark if for removal/trimming, if it is found to be on Town Property. Due to a tremendous backlog of requests, the tree will be removed in the order in which the request was received. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
