Native Seeding and Plant Plug Cost-Share Program

Your property may qualify for the Native Seeding and Native Plant Plug Cost Share Program, which will not only help improve the ecological health of your property, but may also contribute to increasing the value of your home. 

The Village of Riverwoods has been proactively encouraging woodland stewardship by sharing 50% of the resident's cost (up to $4,000) to plant native species, remove invasive shrubs and undesirable trees, and manage rainwater. The Cost-Share programs are intended to promote the health of our unique woodlands and help increase property values. 

Residents are required to schedule an in-person Ecological Consultation with the Village Ecologist for participation in any Cost Share programs. After the initial site visit to your property, the Village Ecologist will provide a program summary of eligible Cost-Share programs for which your property qualifies.  The cost of the consultation is $75 must be submitted along with your application and can be paid by credit card over the phone.  A 3% service charge will be applied for all credit card payments.  A check written out to the "Village of Riverwoods" can also be dropped off or mailed to the Village Hall.
