Free installation for eligible Montclair houses of worship

 

The Township of Montclair is participating in a tree planting program to enhance our community by increasing tree canopy, improving neighborhood aesthetics, and creating a cleaner, healthier environment.

As part of this effort, the Township’s licensed contractors will be providing the services of planting the trees upon request of individual houses of worship anywhere on their property. Only properties located within an NJDEP-designated Overburdened Community are eligible. The trees are being provided and planted at no cost to the house of worship. Property managers can suggest preferred locations for tree placement on their property; however, all final placement determinations will be made by the Township's contracted licensed tree expert based on horticultural and site suitability standards.

  1. Submit a tree request form.
  2. Staff verifies eligibility and provides a waiver.
  3. A licensed contractor will plant the tree at no cost.

*After planting, your organization will be responsible for ongoing tree care.

Fill out this form to request a tree for your property.

PLEASE NOTE: Free native trees are available for eligible properties. Eligibility is based on location, available planting space, and tree availability. Trees are planted in the spring or fall, and planting dates vary based on seasonal conditions and program capacity.
