The following release is from Haddonfield Commissioner Frank Troy.
Effective February 7, we will start our 3-month Dead TREE (Tree Rapid Execution Event) Program. Dead trees are a significant safety and nuisance issue in Haddonfield, so we are taking measures to address them.
Summary:
-Two teams of four Public Works Employees for February and March
-One four-person team for April
-Goal of removing 150 trees between February 7 and April 30 (total trees removed in 2021 was 79)
-Weekly/monthly updates on social media and Commissioner meetings
-Mostly trees 24 inches or less in diameter
-Stalks and stumps will be left behind and removed by an outsourced company
Impact on Residents:
-Monthly chipping will be suspended until April – hold branches on site
Needs:
-Patience and support while we try something new
-Report a dead tree through the Borough website – left side tab that states “Report a Concern” – or 856-429-0183 ext.
-Your tree will be added to the list for present and future takedowns
