Pledge Summary

The Village of Glenview is located approximately 20 miles north of Chicago, with a population of approximately 48,000. The Village has a longstanding commitment to creating and improving natural habitat within the suburban landscape. The Environment and Natural Resources Commission (ENRC) advocates for sustainable practices and native landscaping at Village-owned facilities as well as supporting residents in planting trees, installing rain gardens, focusing on native species, and removing invasive species from their own property. Providing monarch and other pollinator habitat is a prime consideration of the projects the ENRC undertakes.
