Burlington County Feral Cat Initiative
The BCCI and Lumberton Township are working together to promote the Trap, Neuteur and Release Program (TNR). This program will allow for the proper training for feral cat caregivers who register with the Feral Cat Initiative ,and agree to participate in the program. Lumberton has modified its ordinance to decriminalize the care of feral cats by trained caregivers, it is still illegal for people not participating in the program to feed wild and feral cats.. The goals of the program are to improve public health and safety while more humanely controlling the cat populations. Feral cats who are safely traped will be neuteured/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and ear tipped. For more information please click on the link above or email your questions to info@njferals.org

Donate a Tree Program
The Township of Lumberton Garden Club is asking for your support to help beautify our community. For 2007, the Garden Club will be sponsoring a "Donate A Tree Program". Our goal is to have residents of our community make a contribution in the amount of $150.00 for the installation and care of your shade tree, which will ensure that your investment in our community receives the proper attention.
We are currently looking for sponsorship of 10 large shade trees that will be placed at our new playground area next to the municipal building. Participants will be recognized in the Spring addition of the Lumberton Link Newsletter, Lumberton Community Day, and the Lumberton Township Website.
Please make your checks payable to the "Lumberton Beautification Fund" and anyone with any questions about the program can contact Township Administrator Daniel M. Van Pelt at 267-3217. We thank you for your support.
