Big Trees
The Shade Tree Commission has assembled this list of the Big Trees in Long Hill Township.  Go Look for yourself !  Stop at Town Hall to obtain a complete tour package, which includes a description and identification notes for each species, and a package of maps to locate each of these giants.

This list was compiled in 1993.  If you can't find a tree that is listed, or if you know of a bigger one, please notify the Shade Tree Commission at once.

Visiting these trees is a nice bicycle ride.  Please be careful.  And Please respect property rights as you make your tour.
