Trustee Uku Village Green Report for November 2025
Dec 8, 2025
VGC Chair Tara Barrett submitted the Village’s 2025 application for Tree City USA membership renewal on 11/26/2025. Applicants are required to show proof of the following:
-
an active tree board and/or department
-
a tree care ordinance [ ours dated 10/07/2002 ]
-
a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita [ ours $20.62 ]
-
an Arbor Day observance and proclamation [ ours dated 04/19/2025, see photo ]
Thanks again to former Trustee and VGC Liaison Kym Bradley-Rickard for keeping meticulous records, without which our submission would not have been possible.
Reminders:
-
I have set up a Village Street Tree Request Form. Ask your Clerk (or friendly neighborhood Liaison) if a complimentary street tree is right for you. The form can currently be accessed from the Agenda page for this meeting on the Village website.
-
If you have a little free time and would like to meet fun neighbors while beautifying where you live, the VGC warmly welcomes you!
-
All current terms end 12/31/25, and all committee members seek reappointment.
As always, it’s a pleasure to serve this hardworking team.
