Goals and Objectives

Introduce species of trees and shrubbery that will provide for long term coverage of public lands, parks and recreation areas, while at the same time allowing for diversity of color in the three temperate seasons enjoyed by this community as a pedestrian based center.
Establish an ongoing maintenance program for the trees along Borough rights-of-way to include county maintenance procedures on County streets to reduce liability to the Borough and enhance the quality of life for residents.
Revise current ordinances and develop new tree ordinances that define responsibility for maintenance, removal and replacement.
Educate the public about trees and their importance to the entire community.
Expand the training opportunities available to Shade Tree Commission members and Borough employees.
Coordinate Shade Tree Commission activities with public and private organizations.
