North Brunswick’s Tree Maintenance crew went live less than a month ago, yet has removed more than 20 municipal trees in-house instead of contracting out. Eric Chaszar, the director of the Department of Public Works (DPW), was able to accomplish this through a reorganization of the DPW, with no additional staff added for tree maintenance services.
