Environmental Commission Sends Tree Ordinance Recommendations To Township Council

December 6, 2022 Environmental Commission

Environmental Commission member Arnold Schmidt makes a point with a picture he took of a tree in the Municipal Complex.

Work that began in October showed some results December 5, when the Environmental Commission sent several recommended changes to the township tree ordinance to the Township Council.

The recommendations involve changing the definition of a tree in terms of trunk thickness and reinstating a cap of 25 percent on the amount of tree replacement that developers could make up through contributions to the township’s Tree Fund. The cap was removed in a February 2015 revision of the township’s tree ordinance.
