Posted about this situation in the Before and After Tree Care thread, but I realize it doesn't belong there.

In a phone conversation with the town CAO today, he mentioned that the trees were removed because they were untidy, growing over the fence, etc. He is a former landscape architect, and says that because the rootball on the black willows were left, they will prevent erosion, and re sprout.
This town is located in picturesque "cottage country". The mayor, who's hobbies now apparently include performing tree risk assessments authorized the work be done through the Parks and Recreation Dept manager. Who in turn is responsible for managing the town's Municipal Tree Bylaw.
