Willingboro sets code to deal with tree maintenance, removal

WILLINGBORO The township has new measures in place to make sure that trees are being maintained and removed properly, and that debris is not being left curbside for long periods.

The Township Council last week approved an ordinance to amend the municipal code dealing with trees, forestry management and tree removal. The ordinance is intended to prevent the uncontrolled and excess destruction, removal and cutting of trees.
