Eversource Overview

Stop Eversource from excessive clear-cutting 

Eversource plans to clear-cut 278 acres to widen their powerline corridor through 11 towns. Instead, they should cut only as much as is necessary to protect the powerlines. They have not used due care to distinguish between trees that pose risks and those that do not.
