ANNUAL TREE CITY USA TREE PLANTING PROGRAM
- Every Spring and Fall the Borough's Shade Tree Commission, as part of its Tree City USA Program, plants about 15 to 20, 2.5” caliper shade trees.
- The Borough's Shade Tree Commission's goal is to involve the community in the Tree City USA tree planting program and better our environment by providing a tree canopy and keeping Mendham's beautiful streets tree lined.
- Working with property owners, the Commission picks locations that are in the Borough right-of-way or up to 10 feet back from the right-of-way within a property owner's front or side yard that lines the street.
- If you would like a tree please email Deborah Holly at dpw@mendhamnj.org
- All trees are choice specimens and perfectly placed.
- The trees are planted, staked, mulched, and trunks deer proofed by the Borough's Department of Public Works.
- If a tree is placed on your property or in front of your house in the ROW please look out for it.
- Please give it water during dry spells and even some free wood chips for the asking from the Borough DPW.
- Please do not weed wack the trunk and keep dogs and trash cans away.
