Eversource Conducting Aerial Tree Trimming in South County

LEE, Mass.— Eversource will conduct aerial tree trimming along power line corridors in western Massachusetts from Monday, March 24, through Saturday, March 29, weather permitting. 
 
Flights are scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
 
The company will use helicopters equipped with rotating blades to trim tree limbs, aiming to maintain clearance around transmission lines. This method is intended to reduce the time required for manual trimming, decrease potential injury risks for tree crews, and minimize disruption to the natural habitat.
 
Eversource states that maintaining clear space around transmission lines is necessary to prevent power outages caused by trees interfering with the lines. The trimming will take place in Becket, Blandford, Granville, Lee, Otis, Russell, and Southwick.
