Mayor Jimmy Davis advised residents that the City of Bayonne supports trees through its programs for public works, parks, and planning.  Mayor Davis said, “Bayonne has been a Tree City USA for twenty-five years, as designated by the Arbor Day National Foundation.  Through our municipal programs, we encourage the planting of trees throughout the community.”

During 2021, the Bayonne Department of Public Works and Parks has planted 21 trees and ordered an additional 12 trees, for a total of 33.  Of the 33 trees, two have been planted in parks, and two will be placed in parks, while the rest have gone or will be going to residential areas. 

Six of the 33 trees were donated by NB Earth Talks, an environmental and conservation organization based in North Bergen.  NB Earth Talks coordinated the donation of trees to the City of Bayonne with the Department of Public Works and Parks.  Two of the trees from NB Earth Talks were planted in Halecky-IMTT Park on Bayonne’s East Side.  The other four trees from NB Earth Talks have been planted as follows: one on West 21st Street, one on Avenue A, another by the public library at 31st Street and Avenue C, and the last one by the 4th Street Senior Center.
