The Village has been recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation for 30 years as a Tree City, maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and celebrating Arbor Day. 
  • Libertyville has also been recognized with the Growth Award for 7 years, exemplifying major milestones and annual activities in five categories to build sustainable community forestry over the long term.

Bird City Illinois

Bird City Illinois recognizes the commitment of state municipalities to a green future inclusive of birds and nature. To become a Bird City, a municipality must demonstrate its dedication to birds across six categories: (1) Habitat Creation, Protection, and Monitoring of Natural Communities, (2) Limiting or Removing Threats to Birds, (3) Education and Inclusion, (4) Climate and Sustainability, (5) World Migratory Bird Day, and (6) Bird City Resolution.
