Bridgewater Looks To Expand Tree Canopy Along Township Roads

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The Township is looking to expand its tree canopy through its newly launched Our Trees for Tomorrow Program.

"Trees do more than beautify our streets. They provide summer shade, help reduce stormwater runoff, improve air quality, and strengthen property values across our community," according to the Township.

Residents can request a free shade tree to be planted near the roadway in front of their home. There is no cost to participate, and each location is carefully reviewed by Township staff to ensure safe placement and long-term success.
