FANWOOD, NJ – The Borough of Fanwood is home to lots of beautiful trees. Now the Borough needs your help to identify some of the biggest in town.
Do you have a particularly big tree on your property? The Fanwood Shade Tree Commission and the Fanwood Environmental Commission would like to hear from you. Together with Mayor Colleen Mahr and the Borough Council, they’re sponsoring Fanwood’s first “Tree-Mendous” Big Tree Contest as part of the up-coming Fanny Wood Day festivities.
