Month: December 2010

Tonight Camden City Council approved a 5-year Community Forestry Management Plan (CFMP) to promote a healthy urban forest! Vibrant trees beautify Camden streets, improve air quality, provide shade, and increase property values. With an approved CFMP, Camden will receive liability protection from the state and up to $25,000 in funding every year to support CFMP goals, including:

– public hazardous tree identification

– public tree maintenance and removal

– skills training to city workers

– and tree planting.

Camden’s plan will soon be submitted to the state of NJ for approval. Thanks so much to NJ Community Forestry for their support of Camden thus far!
