Why Morris Township
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Township of Morris.
Morris Township regulates removal of regular trees 8 inches or more in diameter, and gives extra protection to "specimen trees" 24 inches or more in diameter.
The administrative officer must review, approve, conditionally approve, or reject a complete permit application within 30 days.
Homestead lots, dead/dying/diseased/hazardous trees, silvicultural (forestry) management, and golf course maintenance (with 48-hour notice) are exempt.
Replacement scales with how many trees come down: 30% replacement under 75 trees removed, 50% for 75–99 trees, and 70% for 100 or more. For specimen trees, replacement ranges from 5 trees (24–30 inches removed) up to 10 trees (41 inches or more). Trees being kept must be flagged and protected with snow fencing before work starts, and clear-cutting is discouraged unless there's no practical alternative.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
