The Shade Tree Commission is a three member commission with each member serving a three-year term. The Commission is responsible for regulating trees located in the public street right-of-way. This regulation includes any application to remove a tree or to plant a tree. Applications are generally received by the Borough and forwarded to the Commission members. The Commission members go to the location and provide a recommendation on the request. The volume of applications generally does not exceed ten per year. Residency is required.
