Welcome to the board. What part of CT are you in?
I'm sure that you already know this, but thought that I would bring it up for the board anyways.
In CT you are allowed to do as many removals as you want. However if you want to do any pruning, or bracing, or anything else like that, then you need to have your arborist liscense. CTPA? I think is the group that you have to talk to out there.
