The Chamber Beautification Committee co-sponsors an annual Village Pride Clean-up Day with the Chatham Jaycees.  The Chamber also sponsors The Chatham Tree Committee.  This committee has partnered with the SIU-Carbondale Forestry Department to hold tree care seminars, community tree tagging projects to help educate the community on the many benefits of a healthy, stable urban forest canopy,  and the group has mulched trees in community parks to help preserve and protect them for years to come.  The Chamber’s Annual Greenways of Chatham yard and garden contest encourages beautification of the community, which enhances the environment for both visitors and residents.  For more information about this committee, or to volunteer, please call 217-483-6450.
