Orland Park's tree ordinances cover parkway tree maintenance, private tree preservation, removal permits, replacement requirements, and disease/pest management. The village forester administers the program through the Public Works Department.
Orland Park's comprehensive tree program includes: village ownership and maintenance of all parkway trees; permit requirements for removal of regulated private trees and all parkway trees; mandatory tree surveys and preservation plans for development applications; replacement requirements with caliper-inch ratios; species-approval lists emphasizing Illinois natives; pest and disease management (notably emerald ash borer treatment and removal); and protective fencing requirements during construction. The village conducts regular pruning cycles for parkway trees and offers parkway tree planting programs for residents. The Morton Arboretum's Community Trees Program provides regional consultation. HOA covenants frequently add private requirements that supplement village rules and are enforceable through the association's architectural review process.
Code violations vary by section; parkway tree damage may incur restitution at full replacement value plus citations.
