In honor of Arbor Day, residents are encouraged to plant a tree on the parkway in front of their houses. The Village's 50/50 Parkway Tree Planting Program will pay for 50 percent of the cost of the tree.  Parkway Tree Planting applications are available from the Village Forester and online at www.skokie.org
