JAY — Selectpersons approved a plan Monday to have a resident plant six to eight trees and restore a stonewall on town property off East Jay Road. The trees at the town gravel pit were at the property line with abutting landowner Marc Kelvey. The town’s contracted forester, Steve Gettle of Jay, noticed the abutter had cleared some land and informed selectpersons Sept. 28. At the time, Gettle estimated 12 to 24 trees were cut and part of a stonewall was removed. Kelvey admitted to the action because he wanted more light for his property. Approximately 60 to 70 feet of rock wall was buried.
