Weir Farm
Tree Removal
A 60+ acre hazardous tree removal and pruning project across Weir Farm National Historical Park for the National Park Service in Wilton, Connecticut.

Client
National Park Service

Location
Weir Farm National Park, Wilton, Connecticut

Duration
9 Month Contract
Project Description
Over a Century Of History. Still intact
For this project, we were tasked with completing tree removal and pruning services within the Weir Farm National Historical Park Area, covering over 60+ acres. This project focused on the cutting, removal, and trimming of hazardous trees along the park trails and surrounding public areas. Additionally, we were also tasked to maintain the surrounding vegetation and overhanging canopies that were impacting trails throughout the park. Throughout the nine months, our team coordinated directly with NPS personnel to execute tree removals while protecting stonewalls, earthworks, and historical features critical to the site’s cultural significance.
The scope spanned three categories of service: tree removal in maintained areas (mowed lawns and manicured grounds), tree removal in unmaintained areas (forested trails and natural woodland), and hazardous tree pruning (dead limbs over trails, picnic areas, and buildings). All work was performed under ISA-certified arborist supervision with strict adherence to NPS historic preservation protocols.
