PSNH Says It Will Remove More Trees

Residents angered by Public Service of New Hampshire’s decision to chop down several large trees in Epping aren’t the only ones seeing more trees disappearing around power lines.

PSNH recently sent a letter to several communities warning that people will notice changes in the way trimming is done around transmission lines after tougher rules were adopted to keep vegetation from knocking out power.

The changes, which include more tree removal than trimming, are in response to stricter national standards requiring utilities to more aggressively maintain vegetation near transmission power lines to prevent outages, PSNH said in the letter.
