Do you want to learn more about the benefits of solar energy or sing the praises of your own solar panels? Save the date and mark your calendars for September 30!

The Village of Deerfield is partnering with the Illinois Solar Education Association (ISEA) to spread the word about solar right here in Deerfield! 

The Solar Tour is an annual, free event that offers the public the opportunity to view innovative green homes and buildings and see how solar energy can be used efficiently. The Tour is a chance for everyone to view affordable and practical technologies in their own neighborhood that benefit the environment and are part of the solution to our nation’s energy issues.

50/50 Tree Program

The application for the 50/50 Parkway Tree Program is now available. Check out the list of available trees this year to find one that suits your chosen parkway planting location.

The Village will pay half the cost to plant a tree in the parkway.  Your tree will be balled in burlap, guaranteed for one year, and planted by the Public Works Department. Planting will take place in the fall. Trees will be planted in the parkway and cannot be planted on private property. Watch your tree next summer and, if you notice any problems, call us so we can have the tree examined before the guarantee expires.

The Village of Deerfield is a member of the Suburban Tree Consortium, which enables us to obtain high-quality trees at competitive pricing. Most of our trees will be ordered from Wilson Nurseries, Inc. The trees being offered through the program are 2.5” in diameter. Applications are due by August 31. This is a first come, first served program with a limited amount of each tree species available.
