The Township of
Union offers free tree planting to
residents upon request. Tree planting is
twice a year, in the late spring and
late fall. The Township selects the
species each year based on
recommendations of the nursery arborist.
Homeowners are notified prior to
planting, and arrangements are made to
place the tree in a suitable location.

If you wish to have a new tree planted in
