Each autumn, the Village offers residents the option of planting a tree on their public or private parkway at half-price. Trees purchased through the 50/50 Parkway Tree Program are two inches in diameter and include delivery, planting, mulch, and a one-year guarantee. The full cost of each tree is split equally between the Village and residents, resulting in a rate of 50% per tree for residents. Trees are $775 each, with residents paying $388.
Orders and payments must be submitted by Friday, September 22, 2023 at 4:30 PM. For additional information, contact Eric Jordan at 847-784-3588 or ejordan@northfieldil.org. 2023 tree options include:
