 Adopt a Tree!
The Environmental Commission is soliciting recommendations and requests for
new street trees. These street trees are
typically planted in the right-of-way of a Borough street (generally between the
sidewalk and the street curb). The Borough will select, plant and initially
water the planted trees. All that we ask is that residents protect trees from
damage and commit to watering the trees when warranted by dry weather.
If you are a Borough resident and would like to have a tree planted adjacent
to your property or you know of a location in the Borough where you would like
to see a tree planted, please indicate your desire by writing a letter to:
Borough Trees, Environmental Commission, Borough of Hightstown, 148 N. Main
Street, Hightstown, NJ 08520. Though we will try to honor all requests, this may
not be possible due to the limited number of trees.
Past tree planting has been extremely successful. So that our children can
enjoy the tree-lined streets of Hightstown, we must continue to plant new trees
each year to replace those that have been removed, because of age or damage from
storm or disease. Thank you for supporting this effort.
