The goal of the City's Shade Tree Advisory Committee is to beautify the community by encouraging the planting of trees in Hackensack, especially curb side trees.
Since the Committee's inception in 1989, it has worked to plant over 500 trees in Hackensack. As an honored Tree City USA participant, Hackensack celebrates National Arbor Day each year, and the Committee seeks volunteers from each voting district to keep an updated survey of trees throughout the City.
Upon request from tax-paying residents, we have a limited budget to plant curbside trees. The Committee also accepts donations and estate rememberances to honor loved ones. Please contact us at 201-646-3907 for more information.
We are always in need of volunteers. Student volunteers may receive credit while working under the tutelage of a high school teacher or volunteer service. If you would like to volunteer, please contact cpanny@hackensack.org
Committee members are appointed by the Mayor & Council for a three year term. To see the City's Shade Tree Ordinance, click here. (Requires Microsoft Word).

Any Hackensack resident requesting tree plantings at their residence should request it in writing with an easy diagram showing the location for the trees on their property. Please mail to "Shade Tree Advisory Committe, 65 Central Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601".
