Village Of Mokena: Parkway Tree Cost-Sharing Program Announced

Press release from the Village of Mokena:

Monday August 30, 2021

To protect the environment and enhance the value of residential real estate, the Village of Mokena has added a 50/50 cost-sharing program to further encourage the planting of trees in the community’s public parkways.

Under the program, the resident pays 50% of the cost for a nursery contractor to supply, deliver, plant, and mulch a new parkway tree.  The Village pays the other 50%.

The 50/50 cost-sharing program is focused on those wishing to plant new trees in parkways adjacent to their property where trees have not previously existed.  Consistent with previous policy, the Village will continue to remove and replace at no cost existing public parkway trees that have died from natural causes or have been severely damaged or destroyed by storms.
