Mission Statement
The New Jersey Shade Tree Federation is a non-profit
organization that has been assisting those individuals and agencies
entrusted with the selection, planting and care of trees, since
1926.
Our objective is to provide our members with the latest up-to-date
information and techniques, as well as other related topics of
interest and importance.
The New Jersey Shade Tree Federation accomplishes its objectives
by bringing knowledgeable experts to the community and publishing
informative newsletters. We welcome you to become an active member
in the NJSTF.
Our office, conveniently located on the Cook College Campus
of Rutgers University, may be contacted for a wide range of information
and services.
