Free tree seedlings

Release Date: March 28, 2017

“New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings to Residents in Mendham Borough”
 

Mendham Borough - Free tree seedlings will be available to Mendham Borough residents in the month of May as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.
 
From 9am to 2pm on May 1st to May 6th, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Mendham Borough Public Works, 37 Ironia Rd.  Seedlings, available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out.
 
The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint effort between Mendham Borough, New Jersey Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, Brothers International, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Wyndham Vacation Resorts, and FedEx.
 
When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.
