Amherst Highway Superintendent Robert Anderson is working with a "tree consortium" which is composed of town residents with experience as arborists or in other occupations that deal with trees to help repair the damage caused by the October 12, 2006 storm.

Anderson said his "tree consortium" is going to help revitalize the town's "treescape ", which was extensively damaged by the October 12, 2006 snowstorm.
