About the Commission
The Landscape Advisory Commission (LAC) prepares and recommends to the Board of Trustees a Master Landscape Plan for all public areas, prepares an inventory of all trees and plantings within Riverside parks, and advises the Board of Trustees on treatment and disease prevention methods for all plantings. The plan offers guidelines on how best to steward our public land in the present day, and, on a periodic basis, reviews the present condition of public lands against the guidelines as set forth in the Master Landscape Plan. Riverside's public green spaces are integral to Frederick Law Olmsted's design, and to the Village's National Historic Landmark designation. The LAC works in concert with the Village Forester and Department of Public Works.
Upcoming LAC Sponsored Events
The LAC sponsors events to help educate and inspire residents and visitors about the one-of-a-kind landscape in Riverside. Watch for e-flashes and the Village Facebook page for more information.
