The city has been awarded a $53,000 Illinois Community Canopy Tree Inventory & Management Plan Grant awarded through Trees Forever, with funding through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). This grant will support a comprehensive tree inventory and long-term management strategy to ensure Darien's public trees remain safe, healthy, and sustainable for years to come.
Davey Resource Group has been out surveying all public trees in Darien, located within street right-of-ways. During the inventory process, residents may see forestry crews walking through neighborhoods and working near parkways - no access to private property will be required. As an update, the tree inventory management project is approximately 50% complete.
