Dying trees, dead branches and stumps must be removed. On mature trees, limbs must be elevated to eight feet over the sidewalk and fourteen feet over the street. This will keep your sidewalks safe for pedestrians and prevent tree branches from interfering with trucks and buses. Tree lined streets add beauty to our surroundings and stability to our ecosystem. The Borough of Carlisle s Shade Tree Ordinance prohibits the removal of healthy, vibrant shade trees without first obtaining an approved permit issued by the Carlisle Parks and Recreation Department. There is no fee to obtain the permit; however, in extreme cases, failure to do so could result in a fine up to $300 per offense. Please help us keep Carlisle greener by following the shade tree permit process and informing us at (717) of any suspicious tree removal you may observe in your neighborhood. FREE permits are also needed for street tree pruning and planting. Call or visit Carlisle Parks and Recreation to obtain a permit. Visit for more information. Fall Street Tree Planting The Carlisle Shade Tree Commission and the Carlisle Parks and Recreation Department are making a concerted effort to promote tree lined streets in Carlisle to reap the aesthetic and environmental benefits of shade trees.
