Massachusetts law requires that every town and city have a qualified tree warden, either elected or appointed. The tree warden mandate is found in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 41, Section 1 and Section 106. Most municipalities comply with this law, and we strive to maintain a list of current tree wardens.
See the map of Massachusetts cities and towns for a visual illustration of towns and cities that have listed tree wardens.
