    Tree and Brush Pick Up

    2011 was a year of the severe storms in Riverwoods. Many residents are still struggling with the removal of fallen and damaged trees. In an effort to assist residents in dealing with the aftermath of these storms, the Village has retained Glenwood Tree Experts to work with us the week prior to our annual spring cleanup which will take place on Friday, May 18th and Saturday, May 19th.
