Our mission is to be the preeminent City authority that develops, promotes and sustains a productive and safe shade tree resource that benefits the environmental, economic and social well being of the City of Hoboken and its residents.
Arbor Day
Each year we celebrate Arbor Day by organizing tree planting and educational programs. The students and staff of Elysian Charter School produced fantastic poetry related to Arbor Day and trees, that is on display in City Hall. Students read their poetry on April 24, 2009 to illustrate how trees make Hoboken a better place to live. If you are interested in participating in our 2010 program or simply want to plant some trees feel free to call or email our office. Get involved
Tree Planting
Each year Acting Mayor Dawn Zimmer and the Shade Tree Commission sponsor a resident tree planting program to herald in the the Spring and honor Arbor Day. This year 30 trees were planted in front of homes at various locations in the city. London Plane, Japanese Scholar and Cherry trees were planted.
