| After 5 Years, New Lettering Installed |
 |
| APRIL 15, 2014 — Workmen from “Signs and Truck Lettering” of Wayne installed 21 painted, aluminum letters spelling out the official name of the Borough of Woodland Park on the north facing wall of the municipal building at 5 Brophy Lane. Soon after the borough was renamed on Jan. 1, 2009, the lettering for West Paterson was removed, and the wall remained empty. |

| “N.J. Tree Recovery Campaign” Provides FREE Tree Seedlings To Residents Of W.P. |
Free tree seedlings will be available to Woodland Park residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.
From 9 am to 2 pm on Apr. 9 to Apr. 12, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Recycling Center, 901 McBride Ave.
Seedlings, available on a first come, first served basis, also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out.
The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint effort between Woodland Park, the New Jersey State Forestry Services Community Forestry Program, The State Forest Nursery, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, and the Arbor Day Foundation. Arbor Day Foundation. FedEx, and BJ’s Wholesale Club provide financial support for the program.
When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.
If you have any questions, please contact the Woodland Park Dept. of Public Works at 973-256-1264. |
