Tree City USA celebration in Hightstown will include tree planting
Hightstown Borough officials are marking the town’s 10th anniversary as a Tree City USA by planting a sunset maple tree in Association Park at noon on April 17.
Hightstown is one of nearly 150 New Jersey communities that lay claim to being a Tree City USA as designated by the National Arbor Day Foundation, having met the four criteria set out by the nonprofit group.
Those four requirements are to have a tree board that provides tree management in the community which, in Hightstown Borough, is the Environmental Commission, said David Zaiser. He serves on the commission and is the town’s Shade Tree Official.
