WEST CAPE MAY – In honor of Arbor Day, the West Cape May Shade Tree Commission in conjunction with the NJ Shade Tree Federation is giving away tree saplings April 10-13, 2018.
Potential varieties could include Kousa dogwood, black gum, sycamore, chestnut oak, swamp white oak, willow oak, American holly, beach plum, white oak, bald cypress, red cedar, bayberry, pitch-loblolly pine and white pine. The trees are between eight and 24 inches tall and have been harvested when dormant without soil around the roots, making them easier to transport and plant.
West Cape May is the only designated distribution center for the Lower Cape May County Region. Trees are available at Borough Hall, 732 Broadway, West Cape May, Tuesday, April 10 through Friday, April 13 from 8:30am to 2:30pm.
The saplings are free to the public. Trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
Established by the Borough of West Cape May, the Shade Tree Commission is charged with preserving the borough’s urban forest and improving the care of vital community trees. Comprised of community volunteers, the commission meets monthly and is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural beauty of West Cape May for the benefit of its citizens and wildlife. West Cape May has been designated a Tree City USA for 20 consecutive years by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
