Adopt-A-Tree Program

The Borough of Flemington is pleased to continue the Adopt-A-Tree Program for residents.
The program, administered by the Borough Shade Tree Commission, offers a variety of shade trees at no cost to homeowners to beautify their property and provide environmental benefits to the Borough.
Shade trees lower energy costs, control erosion, act as windbreaks, slow evaporation for thirsty lawns, and of course increase the value of property and improve the appearance of our community.
Trees are OFFERED AND PLANTED FREE OF CHARGE, and homeowners are responsible for mulching, watering and general care especially when the tree is young.

Once again, the trees are available AT NO COST TO HOMEOWNERS but they must be in a location visible from the road.

Please visit the below link to access the digital Adopt-A-Tree application.
