Arborists from P.C. Hoag and Co. out of Tamworth found these baby squirrels in a rotten section of the tree at Smith-Eastman Landing in Conway Wednesday. While the arborists were eating lunch one of them spotted a squirrel poking out from under a granite block. They put the pups on the ground near the mother, she came out and pulled them one by one under the block. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

CONWAY — Arborists last week took a little off the top of the giant maple at a town landing off East Conway Road, trimming dead branches and enriching the soil around its roots.Â
The tree, which has a 57-inch diameter and is estimated to be 150 years old, stands at the Smith-Eastman Landing, which has a popular kayak put-in and a walking path.Â
