Native to Riverwoods, River Birch (Betula nigra) catches the eye in wintertime for its exceptional bark character. In addition, it’s often multi-stemmed habit provides ample branch structure at eye level to host its magnificent, curling bark which exfoliates with a variety of color from creamy white to rusty orange, or even pale hues of brown.
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.
