50/50 Tree Planting Program for 2024

 

Morton Grove is once again offering residents an opportunity to participate in the Village: 50/50 Tree Planting Program.

The 50/50 Tree Planting Program works like this; if you choose a certain type of tree that you would like to be planted in the parkway, you can do so by paying 50% of the cost. The Village of Morton Grove will pay the other 50% of the cost. This year’s the cost for the resident is $60.00 per tree.

Keep in mind that just because you had a tree in the past, it doesn’t mean that a new tree can be planted in your parkway now. There are some factors that we considered for tree planting at a particular residence are as follows:
  1. Overhead power lines
  2. Underground utilities
  3. Water and sewer lines
  1. Fire hydrants
  2. Street signs
  3. Street visibility “Safety”

The Village of Morton Grove will be planting 1” caliper #10 container trees.

Only two (2) of the tree choices can or will be planted under overhead power lines. They are the Lilac’s and/or the Crabapple trees. If you have no power lines, any tree can be planted if it doesn’t interfere with any of the factor listed above.

To take part in the 50/50 Tree Planting Program, simply fill out this form and make a check out to the Village of Morton Grove. Please submit payment and forms at the Village Hall (6101 Capulina Ave.) to pay for your trees. Please note - this is a first come first serve program. Act fast, because certain species will go quickly.
THE DEADLINE FOR THIS PROGRAM IS APRIL 1, 2024
We are expecting to plant the trees the first weeks of May 2024.

TREES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AFTER JANUARY 1, 2024 at VILLAGE HALL ONLY
