[MassHistPres] "Demo delay" for trees?

[James Kossuth]

This may be beyond the scope of this list, but I wanted to give it a shot
-- does anyone know of a town that has an ordinance prohibiting the removal
of healthy, old, trees on private property without review and approval by
appropriate city officials?

E.g., a person buys a lot with a healthy, mature, shade tree, and wants to
cut it down to put in a new house.  If we replaced "healthy, mature, shade
tree" with "pre-1900 building", that request would come before the
Historical Commission.  Does anyone know if any town has a similar review
process for trees?  (Perhaps by referring such matters to the Conservation
Commission or Tree Warden?)

Thanks,
James Kossuth
