Pledge Summary

The Village of Flossmoor is a beautiful suburb of Chicago with just under 10,000 residents. We feature tree-lined streets, a variety of historic homes, excellent schools, a diverse and inclusive population, an extensive sculpture garden and sprawling parks, and a thriving small business community. Flossmoor is dedicated to green initiatives and has a Green Commission to help advance that work. As a Village, we have been working on replacing our tree canopy by planting hundreds of trees annually, we host a large annual recycling event and promote daily recycling activities, we discourage idling, we maintain a free seed library, we use native plantings in newly landscaped public areas, and in 2022 we are installing a butterfly garden in one of our local parks! Mayor Nelson is committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with her signing of the Mayors' Monarch Pledge and looks forward to working with the Green Commission and residents to build more pollinator habitats throughout the Village.
