Ridgewood NJ, according to resident Boyd Loving , “Shade tree planting in the Village is underway right now, and there are three (3) different contractors doing this year’s plantings. Painted markings like this indicate the locations at which planting will take place.”
The Village of Ridgewood Shade Tree Division is responsible for the maintenance and care of approximately 15, 000 Village owned street trees on 100 miles of public ways, as well as additional trees and shrubs in parks and on other public grounds. This includes all aspects, such as removal, planting, and pruning. The Shade Tree Division does a tree planting for Arbor Day, which is usually the last Friday in April. The division currently offers a memorial tree/bench program to honor the memory of a friend or family member.
Is there a way to raise your hand to ask for a tree? Prior owners of my house removed the street tree, I’ve been hesitant to plant my own since it’s technically town property.

To the first poster: you cannot plant your own tree in the planting strip. That is Village property.
Who the F&$# planted a palm tree on my planting strip?
The palm tree on North Pleasant is hilarious….
