Please be advised that a permit is now required to remove ANY tree within the Township.
“The Township Committee does herein decide and find that the indiscriminate, uncontrolled and excessive destruction, removal and cutting of trees upon lots and tracts within the Township has resulted in creating increased municipal costs to control drainage, has further caused increased soil erosion, increased dust, increased noise level, which has adversely affected property values and has further rendered lands unfit and unsuitable for their most appropriate use, with the result that there has been a deterioration, or will result in a future deterioration, of conditions affecting our environment and the health, safety and general well-being of the inhabitants of the Township.”
The permit can be accessed here: TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
