The Village of Oak Lawn is a Tree City USA for the past 12 years. The Village of Oak Lawn recognizes that trees beautify and lend value to our homes, neighborhoods, parks and business areas. At the same time, trees conserve energy, help clean the air, protect rivers and streams, and provide a habitat for wildlife. The Village maintains over 22,000 parkway trees. The Village offers a variety of programs to encourage parkway tree planting and maintenance in the community.
Parkway Tree Planting: Cost-Share Program
The Village offers a 25/75 cost-share program to residents who wish to have a new tree planted in their parkway. For more information, click here.
