Ecological Consultation Cost-Share Program Application

The Village of Riverwoods has been proactively encouraging woodland stewardship by sharing 50% of the resident's cost (up to $4,000) to plant native species, remove invasive shrubs and undesirable trees, and manage rainwater. The Cost-Share programs are intended to promote the health of our unique woodlands and help increase property values. 

Residents are required to schedule an in-person Ecological Consultation with the Village Ecologist for participation in any Cost Share programs. After the initial site visit to your property, the Village Ecologist will provide a program summary of eligible Cost-Share programs for which your property qualifies.  The cost of the consultation is $75 must be submitted along with your application and can be paid by credit card over the phone.  A 3% service charge will be applied for all credit card payments.  A check written out to the "Village of Riverwoods" can also be dropped off or mailed to the Village Hall.
