(a) A comprehensive community tree care program shall be developed which would be funded by money currently being used for tree care by Village along with the volunteer efforts of the community matched by applicable State grant monies if available.
(b) This plan would consider the aesthetic, architectural, historic and climatic factors in the selection of species that are appropriate to the areas in which they are to be planted. It would rate site areas both in terms of need and in terms of providing the maximum visual impact and would prioritize the work to be done accordingly. The key to the plan’s success is the Commission’s ability to harness the energies of Richfield’s many community organizations and individual volunteers working in partnership with the Village Service Department, local businesses and horticulture centers interested in improving the appearance of our community.
