Commission seeks assistance with tree care The Glen Rock Shade Tree Commission is seeking residents’ assistance with the watering of the 80 new trees that were planted along Glen Rock’s streets this spring. With record-breaking heat and very little rainfall, the commission needs the help of borough residents to water and protect this significant investment. Residents are asked to adopt a street tree to ensure the trees are regularly watered through the rest of the summer. The commission offers the following tips: Trees need 15 to 20 gallons of water per week, especially young trees planted in the past three years. Trees should be watered slowly so the water can penetrate the soil. A mulch donut may be built around the tree’s base to capture and hold water. Don’t waste time watering a tree’s branches and leaves; it’s the tree’s root system that needs the water most. For more information about watering trees or to request a free street tree, contact the Glen Rock Department of Public Works at (201) 670-3980 or publicworks@glenrocknj.net.
