The Borough of Highland Park, New Jersey has an Environmental Commission and a Shade Tree Advisory Committee. Here are the membership lists for the Environmental Commission and the Shade Tree Advisory Committee.
To request a street tree or report one needing care, call the Borough at (732) 572-3400.
The Environmental Commission may conduct research into the use of open land areas of the Borough, keep an index of all public or private open areas and may recommend to the Planning Board programs for the development and use of such lands. The commission reviews the potential effects of applications before the Planning and the Zoning Boards, provides environmental information to residents, much of it in its collection of publications at the public library. The commission consists of seven members, and meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month in the Eugene Young Environmental Education Center. There is no meeting in August.
The Shade Tree Advisory Committee advises the Borough on street trees and on plantings for parks and public open spaces. Members designed the Native Plant Reserve on River Road and welcome youth groups and citizen volunteers at its workdays there. The committee encourages arboriculture and horticulture, maintains the tree inventory and develops and maintains a comprehensive master plan for planting and maintenance. The committee consists of fifteen resident members, and meetings are the second Wednesday of the month, either in the Eugene Young Environmental Education Center on River Road (May through October), Borough Hall (November through April), or other location as announced. There is no meeting in August.
