Shade Tree Committee

Mission Statement: Our mission is to plan and maintain shade trees along our streets and within our parks and public spaces in a manner that physically, economically and esthetically benefits the community in the most effective manner possible.

The Spring Lake Shade Tree Committee is comprised of resident volunteers. We believe that healthy trees are an asset to our community and help preserve and protect our quality of life. Working as a team with the Borough Administrator and the Department of Public Works we assist in planning for the planting and care of shade trees, ornamental trees and shrubbery located in public parks or right of ways throughout the Borough.

Free! The Shade Tree Committee has funds provided through building permits, grants and other resources. Trees planted through the Shade Tree Committee are free. You have a responsibility to care for your tree.
