Tinley Park does not maintain a formal heritage tree registry, but its tree preservation provisions protect mature trees through development review and parkway protection. Significant public trees receive Village forestry attention.
While Tinley Park has no formal heritage tree designation program, the Village's tree preservation rules protect mature and significant trees through the development review process. Site plans for new construction and major redevelopment must include tree surveys identifying trees above a specified diameter, and preservation priorities are established during zoning and subdivision review. The Village's public forestry program manages notable trees on public property, including parkway oaks and shade trees along the historic downtown corridor. Private owners seeking to preserve significant trees can coordinate with the Tinley Park-Park District and participate in Arbor Day plantings. Cook and Will Counties offer additional assistance for private landowners managing woodland and savanna remnants.
Unpermitted removal of protected trees during development: $1,000-$5,000 plus required replacement at appraised value. Parkway damage: full restoration costs.
