The Shade Tree Commission was established in 1966 under Chapter 10-Article 1 of the Metuchen Municipal Code, and is charged with “the regulation, planting, care and control of shade and ornamental trees and shrubbery upon and in the streets, highways, public places, parks and parkways of the borough.”
Our mission is to protect the asset our shade trees represent, enhance the quality of life for Borough residents, and foster a better environment by planting and maintaining sustainable, healthy, and safe shade trees, preserving species diversity, and promoting proper tree care and stewardship in the Community.
Meetings: 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m., no meeting in July or December
