The Jersey City Shade Tree Committee was established in 2019 to further the proliferation and preservation of shade trees in the City of Jersey City and to insure the many benefits trees provide to current and future inhabitants of the City.

The Shade Tree Committee is comprised of seven (7) voting members who are appointed by the Mayor to serve four-year terms. Additionally, at least two non-voting City staff members serve on the Committee. Read the Jersey City Shade Tree Committee enabling legislation (City Ordinance 19-082) here.
