The Tree Preservation Commission Presents: The Trees of Westfield NJ Awareness Campaign

We want to see your favorite tree! Share it with us by posting it on Instagram and use #TreesofWestfieldNJ

Your chosen tree can be beautiful, tall, wide, tiny, or even ugly.

Trees are the biggest plants on the planet and deliver some of the biggest benefits. They make people happier and the earth healthier.

Whether planted by design or naturally, trees are beautiful. They can be majestic. They can give us spectacular spring flowers and vivid fall color. Their beauty improves our general well-being.

So take a minute, look up, and post!
