Help us keep Des Plaines Beautiful!
Our City Public Works crew has been hard at work over the past few weeks planting new trees around the community. Throughout the spring our Forestry team will plant 300 trees to enhance our canopy and meet our goals as a certified member of "Tree City USA". If your parkway was the recipient of one of these new plantings, please help keep our community beautiful by monitoring the water bags around the new trees. Visit desplaines.org/forestry to learn more.
