Residents can improve the ecological health of their property by planting native trees and shrubs appropriate for the ecological setting.
Residents interested in the Native Tree & Shrub Planting Cost-Share Program will need to:
- Set up an Ecological Consultation through the Village and pay a $75.00 consultation fee. The Village ecologist will determine the property's eligibility for the Cost-Share program. Click here for the Ecological Consultation Cost-Share Program Application.
- If approval is given by the Village Ecologist, the resident must then apply for a permit from the Village of Riverwoods and pay a $100.00 application fee before starting any work. Please find the Native Tree & Shrub Planting Program online application form below.
Fees can be paid by:
- Credit card in person or over the phone at 847-945-3990 (a 3% service charge will be applied for all credit card payments) or
- Check written out to the "Village of Riverwoods" and dropped off or mailed to Village Hall at 300 Portwine Rd., Riverwoods.
