Description

Press release from the Village of Mokena: Tuesday April 12, 2022 To protect the environment and enhance the value of residential real estate, the Village of Mokena offers 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 percent of the cost for a nursery contractor to supply, deliver, plant and mulch a new parkway tree. The Village pays the other 50 percent. 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 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.
