TREE PRESERVATION & REMOVAL ORDINANCE
Please note that a TREE REMOVAL PERMIT is required for the removal of four (4) or more trees of nine (9) inches or greater caliper. For removal of less than four (4) trees of nine (9) inch or greater caliper no application or permit is required, however, for every tree removed, and person removing same must first notify the Borough and pay a fee of ten ($10.00) dollars for up to four (4) trees. This procedure will allow the Borough to maintain a record of tree removals. There is a fine of up to $200.00 per tree removed for not following these provisions.
Our Ordinance exists because our community values all trees located within the Borough as they provide a beautiful and beneficial canopy providing shade, cleaner air, better water drainage and they represent the unique character of Interlaken. INTERLAKEN AIR SHOW HISTORYPlease enjoy a historical video documenting the 1910 Air Show that took place in Interlaken.
