CONWAY — The planned removal of two maple trees from the grounds of the North Conway Community Center and adjacent New England Ski Museum's Eastern Slope Branch is now slated to take place in November.
A story that ran last Thursday reported on Gibson-Woodbury Foundation Executive Director Mark Butterfield's plan to have the trees taken down due to fears about pedestrian safety and the threat of potential damage to vehicles parked on Route 16.
