Norfolk County has no heritage tree program. Brookline designates heritage trees under its tree bylaw. Statewide, MA does not operate a heritage/landmark tree registry.
Norfolk County does not designate heritage or landmark trees. Massachusetts has no statewide heritage tree registry. Brookline's tree bylaw (General Bylaws Article 8.39) treats trees ≥36" DBH as specimen trees with enhanced protection — removal requires a hearing and fee-in-lieu contribution. MGL c. 87 (Public Shade Tree Law) provides enhanced protection for large public way trees, which many cite as a de facto heritage system: a public hearing before the Tree Warden is required for ANY public shade tree removal. The Massachusetts Forest and Park Friends Inc. maintains an informal "Champion Trees" list recognizing the largest trees of each species, but this is non-regulatory. Private heritage tree protection exists only where municipal bylaw applies.
No county enforcement. Brookline specimen tree removal: up to $2,000/tree plus replacement. MGL c. 87 §6 criminal violation: fines up to $500/tree, triple damages in civil suit.
