Swedesboro is a small borough on Raccoon Creek, completely surrounded by Woolwich Township in western Gloucester County. Its Trinity Episcopal “Old Swedes” Church, founded in 1703 with the present building dating to 1784, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with the Richardson Avenue School and the John C. Rulon House. Lake Narraticon park, with its 1.5-mile hillside trail, is owned and managed by the borough. Woolwich Township is crossed by U.S. Route 322 and the New Jersey Turnpike, with Exit 2 inside the township, and is home to the 1791 Gov. Charles C. Stratton House.

Swedesboro has been a Tree City USA since 2000, and Woolwich’s environmental resource inventory shows why trees matter here. About 17 percent of the township is forested, mostly upland woods of white, black, red, chestnut and scarlet oak, with beech, hickories, black walnut, tulip tree and red maple, and an understory of flowering dogwood, black cherry and sassafras. Along the creek valleys are wet forests of sweet gum and red maple.
Our tree removal crews take down dead and hazardous trees on in-town lots in the borough and on farm and wooded properties across Woolwich. Our tree pruning clears roofs and wires and thins heavy oak crowns, with every cut made to ANSI A300 standards, and stump grinding finishes the job.
Oak-heavy woods bring oak problems. Spongy moth, which strongly prefers oak, defoliated more than 140,000 acres across New Jersey in 2024, and bacterial leaf scorch mainly attacks the red oak family. 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.
NOAA storm records show small trees and large limbs down in Swedesboro and Woolwich on July 8, 2014, and an estimated 60 mph gust in the borough on June 23, 2015.
On September 1, 2021, the EF-3 tornado from the remnants of Hurricane Ida tore through neighboring Harrison Township and Mullica Hill with 150 mph peak winds. The June 29-30, 2012 derecho drove gusts of 60 to nearly 90 mph across southern New Jersey, took down numerous trees and power lines, and left hundreds of thousands of customers without power, some for at least a week.
If a tree is on your house, across your driveway or hung up in wires in Swedesboro or Woolwich, call our 24-hour emergency tree service at (856) 457-0196. Stay well away from anything touching a wire and let the utility make it safe first. We use rigging to take weight off a structure in a controlled order instead of pulling and hoping.
