The Village’s tree pruning program began in December.  The area of the Village that will be pruned this cycle is encompassed by Bodin Street on the west, Elm Street on the east, Chicago Avenue on the north and 55^th Street on the south.  Forestry staff estimates that approximately 1,000 public trees will be pruned in this year’s program.

The purpose of tree pruning is to improve tree structure, enhance vigor, and maintain safe conditions for all motorists and pedestrians as they move through the street corridor.
