Tree census
GLUFM
From December through February, Great Lakes Urban Forestry Management (GLUFM) staff will collect data from all trees on Village parkways and public property. The information gathered will be used to create an Urban Forestry Management Plan to help increase species diversity, improve tree health and reduce risk.
GLUFM staff will be measuring trees and recording information throughout the community. Staff can be identified by the company name on their vest and vehicles. This project is being done in cooperation with and partially funded by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and The Morton Arboretum.
