Reminder to Residents of Glen Rock’s Tree Ordinance to Regulate the Removal of Trees on Private Property

All property owners in Glen Rock are reminded  once again that Council passed an ordinance last October 2024 that regulates the removal of trees on private property. The ordinance is aligned with the  recent New Jersey MS4 stormwater requirements, the New Jersey Global Warming Response Act, the Glen Rock state-approved Community Forestry Management Plan of which one of the goals is to reverse the tree deficit as well as the Glen Rock Master Plan.  The newest section, 208-10, relates to the removal and replacement of trees on private property. Section 208-10 applies to any private property in Glen Rock, except for development, demolition, or construction projects, in which case the provisions of section 208-9 apply. Full details on the ordinance can be found here .
