II. Introduction
Scope
The following outlines the programs, policies and procedures by which shade tree and forest resources within Morris County will be managed during the period of January 2020 to December 2024.
The goals in this first five-year plan address street trees on County right-of-way, park trees, and trees and forests on County-owned public lands. Future plans will build on the successes of this plan and follow up on objectives not attained during this planning period.
A. Mission Statements
Morris County Park Commission Mission Statement
The lands and facilities of the Morris County Park System are dedicated to the enjoyment, education, health, and inspiration of all the people of Morris County.
The Mission of the Morris County Park Commission (hereafter referred to as MCPC) is to develop and preserve a dynamic and unique system of diverse natural, cultural and historic resources, and to provide innovative education and recreation opportunities of regional value, while exercising environmental and fiscal responsibility.
Morris County Department of Public Works Mission Statement
The Morris County Department of Public Works Shade Tree Division (hereafter referred to as MCDPW) recognizes the asset and value shade trees add to the quality of life for Morris County residents. In so doing, it also acknowledges the inevitability and responsibility of proper maintenance, care, mortality and replacement associated with these benefits. It is the County’s mission to promote a sustainable and productive community forest along County right-of-way and on County properties which it maintains.
Page | 4
B. Goals
The preparation and consistent implementation of a Community Forestry Management Plan helps insure that trees within the County right-of-way and on County property, not only contribute to the environmental and economic vitality of the area, but also reduces potential hazards to public safety.
Morris County recognizes the value of the New Jersey Shade Tree and Community Forestry Assistance Act in providing protection from liability to communities which have properly developed and implemented a Community Forestry Management Plan. In recent years, Morris County has taken the initiative in reducing hazardous tree conditions throughout the County. The introduction of State Sanctioned Standards, followed by budgetary enablement, will provide the necessary focus to minimize Morris County’s future exposure in these sensitive areas and will simultaneously enrich the quality of life enjoyed by its residents.
C. Objectives
The Morris County Community Forestry Management Plan will enable the Park Commission and Department of Public Works to set attainable goals within the present budgetary constraints in meeting present and future tree maintenance needs. This management plan will evaluate Morris County’s shade tree assets and liabilities, and chart a course setting short- and long-term objectives as indicated below:

D. Liability Statement
As is the case with all County assets, trees require maintenance and it is inevitable that potentially hazardous conditions will emerge. Nevertheless, a complete, comprehensive and proactive shade tree program striving to prevent, anticipate and correct such problems will maximize the benefits of trees to Morris County communities while minimizing the threat to public safety and exposure to liability. All elements of this Community Forestry Management Plan are designed to optimize the balance between tree benefits and risks.
Public safety is the primary consideration in the development and implementation of all shade tree plans and programs. This Plan provides a means of identifying and abating existing tree hazards on a prioritized basis. Further, it provides a means of reducing the potential for future hazards and liability through responsible planting and preventative maintenance.

III. Community Overview – Past, Present, and Future . . .
Morris County History and Demographics
The County of Morris contains 39 municipalities, over 481.62 square miles and is currently inhabited by 492,276 persons according to the 2010 U.S. Census data. The County of Morris borders Passaic and Sussex Counties to the north, Warren County to the west, Hunterdon and Somerset Counties to the south, and Union and Essex Counties to the east.
Morris County is among the fastest growing counties in the New Jersey, New York, Connecticut metropolitan region. Nestled amid rolling hills, broad valleys, and glittering lakes, Morris County is approximately 30 miles west of New York City.
Rich in historic lore and tradition, Morris County was created by an Act of the State Legislature in 1739 separating it from Hunterdon County, one of the state’s largest counties of the period. Named after Colonel Lewis Morris, then Governor of the Province of New Jersey, it originally included what are now the counties of Morris, Sussex and Warren.
Much of its beauty has been protected and preserved by the Board of Chosen Freeholders through its Park Commission, formed by referendum in 1955 to set aside and develop land for leisure time and recreational use. Over 20,000 acres make up the park system, one of New Jersey’s finest. Included are outdoor education centers, a marina, golf courses, a riding stable, indoor ice skating arena, cultural center, arboretums, and numerous types of hiking, cycling, wildflower, and nature trails.
At its most distant points, the County stretches 30 miles from east to west, and 30 miles from north to south. Its temperatures vary widely from area to area, averaging in the middle 20s in the winter months and the low 70s in the summer. About 50 inches of rain and 35 inches of snow fall each year.
Hills and valleys that run east-west, with rocky out-croppings as high as 1,000 feet above sea level, have long hindered transportation from north to south. Major interstate highways (80, 10, 46, 287, 280) connect many municipalities. There are 287 miles of County highways.
During the Revolutionary War, Morris County was known as “The Military Capital of the American Revolution” because of its strategic location. The location of which prompted General George Washington and his Continental Army to make their winter encampments near Morristown on two different winters. Much of the historic lore of these encampments is preserved today in Morristown National Historic Park.

In the years following the Revolution, Morris County was a leader in the iron ore industry, a fact made possible by the abundance of iron ore, timber to fuel the forges, and swiftly flowing streams to provide power.
To process the iron ore, works and mills were built at several locations including Morristown, Boonton, and Dover. It was in Morristown that the steam boiler and some of the machinery for the Savannah, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and parts of the first American locomotive were manufactured, and also the telegraph was perfected by Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail. The old barn in which the two men conducted their experiments and sent the first message “A patient waiter is no loser,” is still standing. This is now a Morris County Park Commission facility and a National Landmark site.
The Morris iron dynasty began to fade in 1882 when vast iron ore resources were discovered in the Great Lakes area. The last mines in Hibernia closed in 1913.
As the population grew and the methods of transportation improved, industries sprang up throughout the County, many of them using the iron ore as raw materials for their finished products. Boonton’s iron processors gained fame from nail production; Wharton attracted the tremendous foundry of the Replogle Steel Company, which closed in 1919; Kenvil, the giant Powder Company of California, later the Hercules Powder Company; and Dover, an extensive plant for making mine equipment.
In 1831, the Morris Canal was completed through the County. Crossing the state from Phillipsburg to Newark, a distance of 90 miles, it played a major role in the movement of iron ore, coal and freight until, after many years of service, it fell into disuse and was dismantled in the 1920s.
The tracks of the then fledgling Morris & Essex Railroad reached Morristown in 1838, and 10 years later were extended to Dover where the railroad’s car shops were a major industry at the turn of the century.
By 1900, the nation’s business and financial leaders, seeking escape from New York City, the financial capital of the nation, discovered Morris County, its isolation, ideal climate and unspoiled countryside, and started the construction of large country estates. Within a few years, it was claimed that more millionaires lived within a one mile radius of the Morristown Green than elsewhere in the world.
At first, governing Morris County was a function of the judiciary. As judges’ court responsibilities grew, however, the need for help increased and two Freeholders were elected from each municipality. They were called “Freeholders” because they were men who owned land free and clear of debt.
As the number of municipalities in the County increased, the Freeholder Board grew in size to 25 to 30 members. The appropriate number was a subject of controversy for many years. Eventually the State Legislature passed a “Small Board Law” limiting the number of Freeholders in each county. In Morris County, the number originally was five, a figure that was maintained until 1972 when the board’s size was increased to seven. All were elected at large.

Since the turn of the century, the character of industry in Morris County has changed from iron mining to research, pharmaceuticals, and light manufacturing. In the same period, the character of the land itself has changed from agricultural to residential. Beautiful homes and gardens predominate, both in housing developments, many of them located on the estates of former millionaires, to small county estates. New construction, both residential, commercial, and industrial, is constant. There are large numbers of garden-type apartments and condominiums, both in the towns and the countryside.
Morris County has the following Temporary Debris Management Areas (TDMAs) approved by the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection: 1. Morris County Shade Tree Division TDMA – 420 West Hanover Avenue, Morris Township, Block 1901, Lot 1 – for vegetative debris with processing. 2. Morris County West Hanover Avenue TDMA – 360 West Hanover Avenue, Parsippany Township, Block 7, Lot 2 – for vegetative debris with processing.
In addition, the following is a listing of Morris County municipalities which also have TDMAs:
• Rockaway Borough • Boonton • Rockaway Township • Chester
The New Jersey Highlands Region is located in the northwestern part of the State, encompassing 859,358 acres in 88 municipalities in Bergen, Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren Counties.
The Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act was enacted on August 10, 2004. The Act, while recognizing the vital water resources and aesthetics of the Region, seeks to protect and preserve these resources keeping them “intact, in trust, forever for the pleasure, enjoyment, and use of future generations.”
Goals that promote the preservation of the Region’s unique resources are outlined specific to the Preservation Area, while goals that promote a balance of environmental protection and sound land use planning are outlined specific to the Planning Area. The following Morris County municipalities are partially within the New Jersey Highlands protected areas:
• Boonton Township • Mount Olive Township • Chester Township • Pequannock Township • Denville Township • Randolph Township • Jefferson Township • Rockaway Township • Kinnelon Borough • Roxbury Township • Montville Township • Washington Township • Mount Arlington Borough
There are no Morris County municipalities that are entirely within the New Jersey Highlands protected areas. Morris County has properties in both the Preservation and Planning Areas of the Highlands Act as shown in the following chart: Page | 15

VII. Public Education, Awareness and Outreach
Both the Morris County Park Commission and the Department of Public Works have independent (but linked) web sites which provide a wealth of information describing services provided and how to get them. Here are the two websites: www.MorrisParks.net www.MorrisCountyNJ.gov/government/planpubworks
On the MCPC site you can book a tee time at one of its (4) golf courses, sign up for an educational program, sign up your child for summer camp, learn about volunteer programs, sign up for an emailed newsletter, sign up for a hike, learn how to rent various facilities, find out about special activities, a multitude of neat places to go and things to participate in.
The Park Commission has full-time staff in the Environmental Education, Horticulture Education, and Marketing Units specifically devoted to Public Education, Awareness and Outreach, and it is hard to imagine anything more they could possibly do.
An Arbor Day outreach program is sponsored by the Park Commission and was re-established in 2019.
Environmental Outreach is one of the primary functions of the Morris County Park Commission. Both field trips and classroom instruction are provided on a year-round basis for children and adults.
Programs for youth are closely related to the NJ Core Curriculum Standards, as well as the most commonly taught science and social studies topics in local schools. Programs include hands-on activities, pre- and post-trip lessons, and take home follow-up activities.
Professional development courses are offered for adults in environmental and horticultural areas. The Park Commission offers programs that provide Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) for NJ pesticide recertification, Licensed Tree Expert certification, Master Gardener certification, and Community Forestry Program certification.
Special events are hosted seasonally. Not a day goes by when the Park Commission is not sponsoring some outreach event.
Pathways Magazine is published quarterly, highlighting all programs and special events throughout Morris County. Maps of individual Morris County Parks and Golf Courses are available as both physical and digital copies, and can be downloaded off of the Park Commission website mentioned above.

The MCDPW web site explains all of the services it provides, significant and informative press releases, related links to helpful websites, and contact information to request services, etc.
Morris County is doing such a great job in Public Education, Awareness and Outreach that all we can say is: “Keep doing what you are doing!”

X. Community Stewardship Incentive Program (5 years)
CSIP #1 – Training
CSIP scholarships for volunteers, employees, and County representatives would be desirable, as would be the possibility of the distribution of informational literature or media. See Section II on pages 10-11, Section VI on pages 31-33, and Section IX on pages 44-45 and 48-49.
CSIP #2 – Community Forestry Ordinance Establishment
Morris County Park Commission – Pursuant to New Jersey Code Title 40, Section 40:37-95.21 (Rules and Regulations; Protection of Parks, Penalties), The Park Commission may make, alter, amend and repeal rules and regulations for the protection, regulation and control of such parks, and the roads, driveways, sidewalks, paths, lakes, pools, fountains, trees, flowers, shrubs, statuary, buildings and other things contained therein, and may prescribe penalties for the violation thereof. Park Commission Resolution 110-97 (see Appendix) establishes regulations to ensure public safety and pleasure, as well as the protection of amenities as noted above, within and upon property controlled by the Park Commission. The Park Commission retains legal counsel as a professional services contract. It is unlikely to use this category for funding in the future.
CSIP #3 – Public Education and Awareness
Both the Park Commission and the Department of Public Works are doing an excellent job in this area. It is very unlikely that CSIP funding would ever be sought for public outreach. See Section II on pages 9-10, and Section VII on pages 34-35 for this information.
CSIP #4 – Arbor Day
The Park Commission is responsible for Morris County’s Arbor Day Program. It is unlikely that CSIP assistance would be needed in this area. See Section II on pages 7 and 10, and Section VII on page 34 for this information.
CSIP #5 – Tree Inventory
The Department of Public Works is interested in inventorying trees on its 111 County properties that it maintains. An inventory of trees on its 287 miles of County right-of-way is impractical. The Park Page | 50
Commission has initiated inventories of its plant collections at its horticultural facilities and its Ash Trees in high-use areas, but there is more work to be done. See Section II on pages 5-6, and Section IX on pages 40 and 46.
CSIP #6 –Hazard Tree Assessment
With over 20,000 acres of parkland, 287 miles of County right-of-way, and 111 County properties to maintain, Morris County can definitely utilize additional funding to monitor its trees. CSIP funding could be used to hire Licensed Tree Experts to assist in this area. See Section II on pages 6-7, and Section IX on pages 40 and 46-47.
CSIP # 7 – Storm Damage Assessment
A Windshield Tree Survey is proposed annually for all County right-of-way, County properties, and County parks. Preventative maintenance is key to minimizing potential storm damage. Funding to offset these costs would be a possible CSIP grant. See Section III on page 15 for TDMAs, and Section IX on page 47.
CSIP #8 – Tree Maintenance and Removals
Morris County recognizes the need to improve its services in providing regularly scheduled pruning of street, park, and County right-of-way trees on a prescribed cycle. The County would seek any CSIP relief in this area. See Section II on pages 8-9, and Section IX on pages 41-43 and 48.
CSIP #9 – Insect and Disease Management
Morris County has limited capabilities in this area and would seek CSIP funding to provide integrated pest management training, materials and equipment, as well as contractual services. The Park Commission currently utilizes an Integrated Pest Management contract to monitor and control insects and disease issues at its horticultural facilities. See Section II on pages 8-9, and Section VI on pages 31- 33 for additional help needed in this area.
CSIP #10 – Wildfire Protection
The probability of wildfire in the County Parks is likely. To this end, Morris County has cooperated with the NJ Forest Fire Service to conduct controlled burns of its woodlands to reduce hazardous fuel loads. Funding to pursue becoming a Fire Wise Community would be desirable. Installing deer exclusion fencing following a burn to promote forest regeneration would also be a possibility. See Section II on page 8, and Section IX on page 42.
Page | 51
CSIP #11 – Tree Planting
The Park Commission plants trees, as resources allow, mostly at its horticultural sites and at forest restoration sites. There is presently no concerted effort by the Department of Public Works for planting trees in the County right-of-way, though host communities sometimes do in downtown areas. However, there is a great need to replace dead and dying Ash Trees on County properties, parks and golf courses. A CSIP grant would be very desirable in this area. See Section II on pages 7-8, and Section IX on pages 41 and 47.
CSIP # 12 – Tree Recycling
Wood chips generated from tree pruning and removal are utilized within the park system. The County processes large tree waste at its state approved resource recovery facility. CSIP funding to purchase equipment, or assistance to offset or reduce these costs, would be helpful. Marketing logs generated from tree removal is another cost effective method of tree recycling. Commercial logging of Ash Trees prior to their demise from Ash Yellows or Emerald Ash Borer would be a wise use of CSIP funding.
CSIP #13 – Sidewalk Maintenance Program
On Morris County right-of-way, sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of the adjacent property owners. Enforcement of unsafe sidewalk conditions is the responsibility of each municipality. If root pruning or severance is necessary on County trees, the property owner or contractor must obtain permission from the County. The Park Commission may pursue funding in this category. The most likely use of funding would be in the installation of root barriers and repair of sidewalk and paver areas.
CSIP #14 – Storm Water Management
Stream bank stabilization and de-snagging of streams and drainage ditches, where County easements are present, could be a grant application for CSIP funding. Upgrading of leaf collection and catch basin cleaning equipment would be another.
CSIP #15 – Other
CSIP funding to provide feasibility studies to regionalize services would be one possibility. CSIP funding to research alternative funding to finance County tree maintenance expenses is another area to consider.

MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION
Policy and Procedure
Subject: Effective Approval: Date: 2011 Revised Approval: Tree Removal and Replacement Date: March 24, 2014 Res. No. 45-14 Revised Approval: Date: Revised Approval: Date:
Purpose:
The Park Commission recognizes the environmental and aesthetic values of trees on parklands. Trees provide aesthetic and scenic beauty; shade; and wildlife habitat. Trees also improve water and air quality; stabilize soils; and reduce stormwater flow.
The Park Commission also recognizes that a variety of circumstances will require the removal of trees on parklands. Trees may pose safety hazards or conflict with site development plans. Environmental stewardship plans and programs may require the removal of trees to meet conservation objectives in certain areas. Certain trees may conflict with cultural and horticultural site objectives.
The Park Commission seeks to minimize any negative impacts associated with tree removals on park resources; to maintain the aesthetic and environmental benefits provided by trees; and to stimulate awareness of tree removal impacts by staff. This policy outlines the criteria a tree must meet before it can be removed; establishes a procedure to determine the compensatory value of a removed tree; and details the replacement program that the Park Commission will use to offset the losses of removed trees.
A. A tree must fall into one or more of the following categories before it can be removed from park property.
1. Tree is dead, dying, diseased, damaged or injured and its location, condition, or deterioration constitutes a safety hazard.
2. Tree location compromises the preservation and maintenance of buildings, structures, parking lots, utilities, or other resources.
3. Tree location interferes with the construction of facilities and site development.
4. Tree presents an immediate threat to public safety.
5. Tree preservation is not economically feasible.
6. Tree detracts from landscape design plans or does not fulfill plant collection objectives.
7. Tree is considered an invasive species.
8. Tree is infested with a pest or pathogen that threatens forest and landscape health.
9. Removal of the tree is required to meet objectives outlined in an approved stewardship, forest management, or meadow management plan.
B. A Tree Removal Assessment Form (attached) must be filled out for any tree that needs to be removed.
1. The following information must be recorded for each tree removal project:
a. Facility name b. Date of assessment c. Name(s) of staff or contractor performing assessment d. Specific location of tree e. Reason for removal f. Date of removal g. Name(s) of staff or contractor responsible for removal h. Species name i. Diameter at breast height (DBH) j. Vigor ranking k. Nativity
2. Forms must be submitted to the Assistant Deputy Director for Cultural & Environmental Resources or designee within one week of the removal date.
3. The Assistant Deputy Director for Cultural & Environmental Resources or designee must be made aware of trees to be removed as part of a large-scale construction project at the start of the project planning process.
C. The Park Commission will plant replacement trees for each tree that is removed from parkland to offset the losses in aesthetic and environmental values that were provided by the tree.
1. A replacement value will be calculated for each removed tree that will determine the number of trees the Park Commission will plant to offset these losses. The valuation method places the highest value on large, healthy, native trees. Small, diseased or damaged, invasive trees have the lowest value.
The valuation method assigns a score for each of three categories: size, vigor, and nativity, as specified in the Valuation Scoring Tables. The three scores are added together to obtain the replacement value. The replacement value is equivalent to the number of trees that must be planted by the Park Commission. Possible replacement values range from 1 to 11.
Valuation Scoring Tables
Tree Size Score Vigor Score Nativity Score
< 6 in. 1 Poor 0 Invasive 0
6 – 12 in. 2 Fair 1 Nonnative 1
12 – 18 in. 3 Good 2 Native 2 18 – 24 in. 4 24 – 30 in. 5 30 – 36 in. 6 > 36 in. 7
The following examples illustrate how the valuation method works:
A 24-inch healthy red oak: 5 + 2 + 2 = 9 replacement trees A 35-inch Norway spruce with some signs of decay: 6 + 1 + 1 = 8 replacement trees A 30-inch severely damaged Norway maple: 6 + 0 + 0 = 6 replacement trees
2. Replacement trees shall be of nursery grade quality and grown in a minimum of a #2 sized container or equivalent as specified in the American Nursery & Landscape Association’s (ANLA) American Standard for Nursery Stock (ANSI Z60 - 2004).
3. Shrubs may be planted in place of or in combination with trees in order to meet replacement requirements as dictated by the replacement value.
a. For each replacement tree required, two shrubs may be substituted. b. Shrubs shall be of nursery grade quality and grown in a minimum of a #1 sized container or equivalent as specified in the ANLA’s American Standard for Nursery Stock (ANSI Z60 – 2004).
All replacement plants shall be approved by the Assistant Deputy Director for Cultural & Environmental Resources or designee and shall not be considered a significant invasive species threat based on current knowledge and intended use. Replacement plant suggestions for Horticultural and Historic sites will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
4. The Park Commission will strive to plant the replacement trees or shrubs at the same facility where the original tree was removed. In the event that replacement trees are not appropriate or needed at that facility, the Park Commission will use the replacement plants in another facility that will maximize their value and likelihood of establishment.
5. Trees that fall on their own accord are not subject to this replacement policy.
D. In circumstances where a tree is removed by an entity that is not the Park Commission, the replacement value as calculated in Section C will be multiplied by a base factor to establish a monetary value that the responsible entity must contribute to a tree mitigation bank.
a. The base factor will be established by the Park Commission’s annual fee schedule.
b. Funds in the mitigation bank may be used to purchase plant materials as specified in Section C of this policy, as well as plant protection materials including fencing and tree shelters.

Shows advanced signs of decay, discoloration or dieback; has a dead top or large dead limbs high in the crown. Foliage sparse. Severe insect or disease damage. Fair: Tree exhibits minor structural problems, thinning crown, or stunted growth compared to adjacent trees; some decay; some insect damage; sporadic browning of foliage. Good: Tree in good health; no apparent structural damage; no apparent disease or insect damage. MORRIS COUNTY Nuisance Trees Policy
Trees are a part of the infrastructure of our public right-of-way. Similar to asphalt paving, curbing, and storm or sanitation lines, they have associated maintenance costs, and ultimately, a useful life span.
Unlike other items of infrastructure, trees are alive. Sometimes interference can occur between trees and other infrastructure components, especially if these components have structural or design deficiencies.
Subsequent to frost heaving, tree roots will displace sidewalk slabs and curbing. Tree roots will also intrude into leaking sewer laterals. Frequently, the low oxygen levels in high water tables or compacted soils force tree roots to grow at or near the soil surface. In such situations, trees could be considered a nuisance.
It is the policy of the Morris County Department of Planning and Public Works to only remove trees that meet the following criteria: 1. The tree is dead. 2. 20-30% of the tree crown has declined and it is aesthetically unattractive. 3. The tree has structural deficiencies. 4. The tree has been repeatedly cut back by electric line clearance crews, rendering it unattractive. 5. Sidewalk, driveway apron, or curbing improvements necessitate the removal of an excessive amount of roots, thus making the tree unstable or bringing about its premature demise. 6. The presence of the tree in some way compromises public health, safety or general welfare.
In situations where individuals strongly desire the removal of trees which are not dead, dying or unsafe, the following policy shall apply: • In all nuisance cases, the County retains the right to determine whether a tree can or cannot be considered for removal. • The property owner shall direct a letter to the Department of Public Works requesting permission to remove the tree and stump. The situation will be reviewed and a decision will be rendered within a reasonable period of time.
Upon receiving written authorization from the County, the owner may proceed with the tree removal pursuant to the following conditions: 1. The property owner will be responsible for the full cost of tree, stump and debris removal. 2. The County of Morris is to be held harmless from any damage that could possibly be sustained by the tree removal. 3. Tree removal must be conducted by a fully insured Tree Removal Contractor. Certification of Insurance must be attached to a Hold Harmless Statement. 4. The Tree Removal Contractor shall comply with all state A.N.S.I. line clearance standards. 5. The Tree Removal Contractor shall notify the County Sheriff’s Department prior to the temporary closing of any County road required for the safe removal of a County tree. 6. The property owner shall compensate the County for the current market value for a replacement tree. The species, size, and location shall be determined by the County. MORRIS COUNTY Sewer Lateral / Tree Root Policy
It is the responsibility of each property owner to maintain sanitary sewer laterals from their buildings out to the T-connection in the street with the main trunk line.
Sewer laterals were formerly constructed of Orangeburg tile or cast iron. Unlike the plastic sewer pipe used today, joints of Orangeburg or cast iron pipe typically leak and are prone to ground water and root intrusion.
It is the policy of the County of Morris that sewer blockage occurs because of a collapsed pipe, wrong pitch, or an accumulation and intrusion of tree roots in an out dated sewer lateral.
The County encourages property owners to replace defective sewer laterals, as that is the only permanent solution to these problems.
County trees will only be removed as an absolute last resort when a property owner provides the Sewer Supervisor with a sewer lateral replacement contract, and it is apparent to the Public Works Supervisor, and the Trade Tree Supervisor, that the removal of tree roots in conjunction with the sewer lateral replacement will cause the death or instability of the tree.
The following policy applies to all other situations where property owners are not inclined to the replacement of their defective sewer line:
The Department of Public Works recommends that property owners utilize an approved aquatic herbicide on an annual basis to kill roots and inhibit re-growth. The best results occur when applied one month after the sewer line has been rodded and all intruding roots have been cut by a licensed plumber.
MORRIS COUNTY Sidewalk Policy
Tripping hazards and the liabilities caused by uplifted sidewalks and driveway aprons in public right-of-way involving trees are of great concern to the County of Morris. With this in mind, the following shall apply:
1. Adjacent property owners are responsible to replace or repair uplifted sidewalk slabs or driveway aprons. 2. Repairs and replacements should be conducted from April through November. 3. Property owners are required to obtain a permit to replace uplifted sidewalks and driveway aprons. 4. Shaving and grinding of roots, replacement of sidewalks and driveway aprons under this program shall be done by a private contractor pursuant to Morris County specifications. 5. Trees will only be removed as a last resort when it is apparent to the Department of Public Works Supervisor that: a. The tree(s) is question is/are in a weakened condition and would not survive the pruning of roots necessary to correct the situation. b. The extent of root shaving or pruning necessary will cause the tree(s) to become unstable. c. The tree species is intolerant of root pruning or severance, and would most likely die as a result of the necessary root treatment.
The following procedure shall be followed where property owners wish to replace sidewalks, curbs or driveway aprons at their own expense and County trees are involved:
1. The property owner shall first obtain a permit through the Engineering Department. 2. The property owner shall make an appointment with the Public Works Supervisor for the offending roots to be pruned or shaved. 3. The property owner, or designated contractor, shall remove the sidewalk, apron or curbing to be replaced, and shall expose the roots to be pruned or shaved at the appointed time. 4. The Public Works Supervisor shall have the authority to determine which roots are to be pruned or shaved, and to direct the property owner or contractor to contour the replacement sidewalk around the base of the existing tree to be preserved. 5. Expansion joints shall be used between all slabs in close proximity of a County tree. MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION Policy and Procedure

This policy seeks to ensure sustainable collection activities and minimize damage to collection sites that could result from unregulated harvesting practices.
Procedure:
All seed collection on Park Commission property requires permission before collection may begin. The Collector must carry a copy of the permission letter with them at all times when collecting on Park Commission property.
When requesting permission, the Collector must submit a letter to the Park Commission’s Superintendent of Natural Resources Management requesting permission for the proposed collection activities at least one month prior to the anticipated collection date to allow time for Park Commission review. Submission of a request does not guarantee that permission will be granted. The letter must provide:
Contact information of the Collector Information on the professional credentials of the Collector Names of all target species Location information of proposed collections including the name of the park and specific locales within (if known) Anticipated collection dates The fate of the seeds to be collected
Before beginning any collection activities, the collector must submit a valid Certificate of Insurance indemnifying the Morris County Park Commission and naming the Morris County Park Commission as an “Additional Insured”.
General Requirements:
The collector must provide the Park Commission’s Superintendent of Natural Resources Management with at least 48 hours’ notice before all field collection days. The Park Commission may request to have a staff member accompany the Collector on these outings.
All collections must be done in a manner that minimizes impacts to park resources. When appropriate, the Park Commission may establish specific conditions to minimize potential impacts to park resources.
Only the collection of seeds will be permitted. The collection of cuttings or divisions; or the digging or removal of entire plants is prohibited.
Seeds may only be used to establish a regenerating seed source for future seed production. Seeds may not be used for direct commercial sale of the collected seed itself or to grow individuals for direct sale.
Seeds should only be collected when there is a high probability of success with propagation.
Seeds may only be collected by hand. The use of mechanical equipment is prohibited.
Seeds may not be collected from any species included on the NJ Department of Environmental Protection Natural Heritage Program’s List of Endangered Plant Species and Plant Species of Concern at the time of the request/application.
Collections may only be made if at least 50 individuals of the target species are present within a population. Ideally, populations with more than 100 individuals of the target species will be used.
No more than 10% of the mature seed available in a given population may be collected.
The collector will be required to submit a summary report to the Park Commission’s Superintendent of Natural Resources Management no later than November 30 of the collection year. The report must include the following information for all collections:
Name of Collector Species name Collection date Park name Estimated number of plants in the population Estimated number of plants from which seeds were collected GPS coordinates of all collection locations Approximate size of areas sampled Count or weight of the seed collected Other species present Disposition of any collections MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION Policy and Procedure
Subject: Effective Approval: 10/17/14 Resolution No. 114-14 Revised Approval: Access to Park Properties for Scientific Date: Research and Studies Revised Approval: Date: Revised Approval: Date:
Purpose:
The Morris County Park Commission recognizes that its lands provide valuable opportunities for scientific research and study and that its lands may benefit from scientific research that provides information about its natural and cultural resources. This policy is intended to provide guidelines for individuals and/or institutions wishing to use Park Commission lands for scientific research and study to ensure that such research does not negatively impact any natural, cultural and recreational resources and to ensure that the results of any research are provided to the Park Commission so that it may inform best management decisions.
1. General Applicability
All research done on property owned or managed by the Park Commission requires a research permit. There is no fee for the research permit. School trips for the purposes of simple observation do not require a research permit but classes that visit a park to collect specimens or to conduct experiments are required to obtain a permit. Any activity that involves a group of 25 people or more, including any school trips, must also obtain a Park Commission reservation permit.
All research must be affiliated with a professional, scientific, governmental or educational institution or organization.
Activities that the Park Commission recognizes as scientific research include but are not limited to:
x Biological surveys x Observational surveys x Plot sampling x Soil, air or water sampling x Collection of any object or organism including but not limited to soil, rocks, plants or their parts, animals and invertebrates x Handling of any organism including trapping or banding activities x Establishment of permanent or temporary plots, transects or experimental areas x Use of any location markers including flagging or signs
All research must be done in a manner that minimizes impacts to park resources. When appropriate, the Park Commission may establish specific conditions to minimize potential impacts to park resources. Projects that involve any of the following activities will not be approved:
x Collection of specimens for commercial profit or personal benefit x Removal or destruction of geological specimens or features x Collection of artifacts x Construction of permanent structures or establishment of permanent markings x Alteration of terrain x Introduction of exotic species
2. Applications
Applications must be submitted at least one month prior to the anticipated project start date to allow time for Park Commission review and issuance of the permit. Submission of an application does not guarantee that a permit will be granted.

WHEREAS, the Morris County Park Commission is steward over certain lands in the County of Morris, including 38 parks and recreation facilities, over 150 miles of recreational trails, and over 18,921 acres of preserved parkland, and
WHEREAS, the Morris County Park Commission has determined it is advisable and in the public in- terest to acknowledge individuals whose volunteer efforts contribute significantly to the park system, and
WHEREAS, it is a very special young man who chooses to dedicate himself to the service of others by putting into practice the noble ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law, and

WHEREAS, the ultimate goal of every Boy Scout is to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, and
WHEREAS, Lucas E. Chu is a member of Boy Scouts of America, Troop 112, Fishawack District, Patriots’ Path Council, and a resident of the Town of Morristown, County of Morris, State of New Jersey, and has earned the distinction of Eagle Scout, and
WHEREAS, one of the major requirements to obtain this honor, is to plan, develop, and carry out an extensive community service project, and
WHEREAS, for his Eagle Scout Project, Lucas built and installed a 72 foot long puncheon bridge, which covers a muddy patch of ground, and two sitting benches located along the Interpretive Trail at Fosterfields Living Historic Farm, and
WHEREAS, in total, Lucas and his volunteers contributed 267.75 hours of their time to build and install this bridge along with the benches, which will improve the quality and enjoyment of the trail.

This project is indicative of his leadership and commitment to volunteerism, NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED that the Morris County Park Commission on this day 23rd of September 2019, aware of the dedication and hard work required in achieving this goal, commends Lucas E. Chu for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout and wishes him well in all of his undertakings.
