Native to Riverwoods, Musclewood (Corylaceae) also known as Blue Beech, American Hornbeam, and Ironwood is a small slow growing deciduous tree with green summer leaves that has a crooked trunk with a broad round top. Its name comes from the muscular appearance of its bark.
To help restore the ecological health of our woodlands, residents are encouraged to plant native trees, shrubs, flowers and other plant species. You might qualify for a Native Tree & Shrub Planting cost-share program, with the Village covering half of the cost of the plants and the planting.
Your property may qualify for one or more of the Village's Cost-Share programs, which can not only help restore the ecological health of Riverwoods, but can also improve your property's ornamental landscape and real estate value. To see which cost-share programs your property qualifies for, request an Ecological Consultation with the Village Ecologist.
