Elk Township is a rural township in southern Gloucester County, formed in 1891. Its communities include Aura, Ferrell, Harding, Hardingville and Monroeville, and it is crossed by Route 77, Route 55 and County Routes 538 and 553. Raccoon Creek and its tributaries Still Run and Reed Branch drain the township, and Lake Gilman, Elk Township Recreational Park and Oldmans Creek Campground are all here. Pine Tavern, a mid-18th-century tavern off Bridgeton Pike (Route 77), is one of the county’s historic sites.

Elk has more preserved farmland than any other municipality in Gloucester County: almost 2,800 acres out of 5,104 agricultural acres, according to its farmland preservation plan. Much of its forest is preserved too, and large areas are classed as environmentally sensitive because of extensive forested wetlands. Most of our work here is on farmsteads, rural homes and wooded lots off Route 77 and County Routes 538 and 553.
Our tree removal crews take down dead and leaning trees near houses, barns and outbuildings, our tree pruning lifts limbs clear of roofs and farm lanes, with every cut made to ANSI A300 standards, and our land clearing equipment handles overgrown fencerows and lots.
Emerald ash borer has now been detected in all 21 New Jersey counties, according to the USDA Forest Service 2024 New Jersey Forest Health Highlights, and beech leaf disease was detected in Gloucester County for the first time in 2024. Dead ash near a building or a lane is one of the most common removals we do in farm country.
