Town of Darien Notice - Tree Mediation Update

Originally posted on the town of Darien's website on 12/14/21 and reposted by Blaine Hurty at DarienCTNews. As of Monday, December 13th, Eversource began the tree removals as requested by the Town and should be completed soon. As indicated in our previous update, the removal of the 21 trees already approved for removal by the Tree Warden will allow us a much better perspective on the remaining trees. It is important to show the mediator that we are willing to move forward in good faith, but we shall continue to represent that the Town and its residents are in firm agreement that clear cutting will not be supported.

Originally posted on the town of Darien's website on 12/2/21 and reposted by Blaine Hurty at DarienCTNews. There have been 50 new cases since my last Code Red update on November 24th.

To Gather with Meaning

Originally published in Greenwich Lifestyle and republished by Blaine Hurty and DarienCT News. Lindsay Hurty Leading a Gathering at Everwell DarienLindsay Hurty/Blaine Hurty. Without much effort, most of us can rattle off Thanksgiving’s necessities—the staple recipes; table décor; the logistics for the Turkey Trot, the annual parade and some sort of football.
