Does the Borough’s Shade Tree/Beautification Commitee have jurisdiction over all plantings within the right-of- way?

Yes. This means that before a tree is planted, pruned or removed, Shade Tree/Beautification Committee approval is required.  Due to budget constraints, there are occasions when permits must be purchased from the Borough Hall, and an approved tree service provider will be employed by the Committee to complete the necessary work.  In no situation may a home owner plant, prune or remove a town tree without a permit.
