Greetings, Cranbury residents! What a terrific Memorial Day Parade we had this past Monday! Thank you to the Lion’s Club for organizing it and thank you to all who participated in the parade, including our Township volunteers and professionals who consistently show up to these events that make Cranbury so special. Also, thank you to fellow Cranburians and visitors who cheered on the participants and gathered at Cranbury’s Memorial Park to commemorate those who have served our country. Our gathering in Cranbury was a small gesture to honor those who made the highest sacrifice while serving in our armed forces so that we may live in freedom.

As the weather has gotten nicer, have you enjoyed the shade and beauty provided by the trees along Main Street and in our parks and preserves? Our town understands the value and importance trees hold for our future – they filter our air, ensure healthy drinking water, cool urban spaces, absorb excess carbon, and improve our overall well-being. In honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management, Cranbury has been named a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for the 34th consecutive year! A lot of hard work and care goes into planting and managing the trees that will help sustain our quality of life for generations to come. Before considering cutting down trees, please contact the Shade Tree Commission to discuss the need for the tree removal and possible replacement.

Although Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer, it is still spring! Let’s continue to enjoy the trees as their young leaves unfurl in all their glory and the pollinators buzz about their flowers. Beauty abounds in the trees and open spaces around town!
