222 New Trees 2022 is a program that seeks to partner up the governments (county, municipal, and school), private businesses, and homeowners to plant 222 new trees in Elmwood Park by the year 2022. Not only do trees lower emissions from homes and cars through shade cover, but they also add priceless value to the beauty of our community. Part of the launch of this program will be revising the Borough code's trees laws. Ultimately, we will assist residents with planting trees on their properties.
