The Village of Pinecrest may have been established in 1996 but the community has a colorful history. In 1936, Franz and Louise Scherr opened Parrot Jungle, Franz’s dream of an attraction where parrots could fly free in an environment of undisturbed native vegetation. Over the years, Parrot Jungle evolved into an attraction showcasing birds, animals, native trees and flowers in a beautiful garden setting. Visitors came from all over the world to experience Franz Scherr’s vision. In 2002, the Village of Pinecrest purchased Parrot Jungle with the intention of turning it into Pinecrest Gardens, an incomparable park and pride of the community. In the 1950’s, development in the area ensued with the construction of homes on wooded, acre parcels. With the community growing and thriving in the 1990’s, Evelyn Greer and Gary Matzner encouraged the community to incorporate and Greer became its first mayor.
