Trees


The Village of Glenview has received the Tree City U.S.A. award every year since 1984.

The Village manages and maintains more than 30,000 trees throughout its parkways and municipal properties. Managing this urban forest requires a clear understanding of the trees, their ages, conditions and location so that crews can perform work.


Glenview Public Works is responsible for the planting, maintenance and removal of trees located along public roads and rights-of-way. Parkway tree planting by the Village is done in the spring and fall each year. Each public tree is inspected at least once every six years by a licensed arborist.

Contact the Public Works Department at (847) 724-1700 for more information.
