FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP GETS HONOR FOR HELPING GREEN AMERICA

SEVENTH YEAR FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP NAMED TREE CITY USA

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, New Jersey-April 13, 2009-The National Arbor Day Foundation has named Franklin Township a Tree City USA for 2008 in recognition of Franklin's program to care for community trees. It is the seventh year Franklin Township has received this national recognition.

The National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service sponsors the Tree City USA program.

Franklin Mayor Brian Levine said, "Franklin Township is proud to have again been designated Tree City USA, and we thank the members of Franklin's Shade Tree Commission and volunteers for their work in our forestry program. We also want to thank The National Arbor Day Foundation for this recognition."

To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance. For this year's Arbor Day, the Shade Tree Commission planted trees in Franklin's Middlebush Park. "As Franklin's newest park, and with plans for expansion, Middlebush park provides ample opportunities to plant new trees to shade play equipment and accent park features. Every year we plant more trees in Franklin's parks and open space," said Michael Orsini, chair of the Township's Shade Tree Commission. He added: "We strongly emphasize public education and a wealth of information is available on the municipal web site, such as the dangers of over-mulching trees and the best trees to plant in our climate and soil. Our annual tree sale has also raised public awareness of our mission and is proving increasingly popular."

"Trees in our cities and towns help clean the air, conserve soil and water, moderate temperature, and bring nature into our daily lives," said John Rosenow, president of the National Arbor Day Foundation. "Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our towns and cities, and provide many environmental and economical benefits. A community, and its citizens, that recognizes these benefits and provides needed care for its trees deserves recognition and thanks," Rosenow added.

An update of Franklin Township's Master Plan recommends the development of a park for active and passive recreation in the southern end of the township. Officials have identified three(3) potential park locations in the Franklin Park area. Prior to moving forward with the concept plans the Township has distributed a survey to Township residents asking for feedback on interest, need and preferred site. The three sites are:

  • THE CATALPA PROPERTY LOCATED ON SOUTH MIDDLEBUSH ROAD AND OLD VLIET ROAD
  • THE DUNN & GUNTHER FARMS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF SOUTH MIDDLEBUSH ROAD AND SUYDAM ROAD
  • LAND CURRENTLY OWNED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ON CLAREMONT ROAD

Township residents are encouraged to participate in the types of recreational activities they would like included in the new park as well as the preferred location of the new park.

I just completed the core course requirement for my NAR GREEN certification and it was unbelievably enlightening. The course encourages the real estate professional to become an advocate for Green principles in the design and use of homes and to become a positive force for creating sustainable communities. The next step is to take the Elective follow up course in April that specifically targets a field of interest and/or expertise - residential, commercial or property management.

I am very excited about this initiative and plan to ride this GREEN wave all the way in the residential field for the benefit of future generations.
