Goal #1
Provide diligent management and protection of all public trees in the Borough to promote the integrity, vitality, safety, and extent of our Urban Forest.

Objectives:

Plant, remove, maintain, protect and replace public trees in all parts of the Borough, consistent with sound urban forestry principles and according to best arboricultural management practices.
Prune younger trees one or more times within the first five years to improve branch structure and growth habit.
Continue to oversee the tree resource in Borough parks to promote tree safety, health and diversity, and to contribute to the purposes of both the parks and the larger urban forest context.
Aggressively enforce violations of the Street Tree Ordinance and "Rules and Regulations for Arbor Work".

Goal #2
Engage in systematic, timely, and responsive planning of the Borough's urban forest in a way that embraces full community participation.

Objectives:

Promote and engage public understanding, support, and ideas for the tree program.
Provide regular and interactive opportunities for citizen involvement with the Commission as we mutually consider trees along public roads and in our parks.
Regularly review the Recommended Tree List and add or delete trees, if necessary.
