Trees are an important part of what makes Cranford an attractive community. Trees provide clean air, shade, wildlife habitat, beauty and enhance property values. While the town does have a tree protection ordinance for residential and commerical development projects, there was no process to replace trees removed by homeowners. Based on a recommendation of the Cranford Environmental Commission, the Township Committee adopted a No Net Loss of Trees policy to address this gap in Cranford's tree protection efforts. The Township Committee also passed a resolution supporting this initiative.
Under the policy, Cranford homeowners retain the right to remove a tree on their property for any reason, whether it be due to disease or a matter of personal preference. This policy does not require any permits, approvals or fees and is completley voluntary. Homeowners wishing to see a tree replaced as a street tree or elsewhere in town can contact Mike Rediger, Chairman of the Cranford Tree Advisory Board at 908-868-8236 or 908-272-4857 or the Cranford Recreation Department at 908-709-7283 and arrangements will be made to replace the tree.
