Throughout the fall tree crews will be working on several township roadways to daylight the tree cover.

Daylighting is the process of removing the tree cover along one or both sides of a road. Removing the tree cover can greatly reduce the maintenance cost of a road by increasing the amount of sunlight and wind reaching the road surface. A dry road surface can be safely navigated by vehicles with very little impact. Soggy roads, on the other hand, can suffer great damage and may require time and money to repair.
