Pick up for residents who fill out and send this form by April 20th

Streeter Pool Parking Lot – Inamere Road  

 

We have been awarded 2,000 trees to be distributed to residents of Morris Twp.  In order to receive 5 trees, we ask that you pledge to read the planting directions, plant the trees within 48 hours (keeping them watered) and care for the trees so they grow and flourish.  The Tree Recovery Campaign folks have asked that you document your family’s tree planting story by taking pictures. Please send the pictures and text to syoung@morristwp.com or text to 201-274-4285.  We hope that this will encourage people to start to replace trees that were downed by Sandy, our recent snow storms and Emerald Ash Borer damage.  There are a variety of trees that are stable in Morris County.
