Do you live on a tree-naked street? Did you lose a tree to Dutch elm disease or storms?
Now may be the time to add a tree to your public right-of-way.
The City and County of Denver, Denver Digs Trees and several other community organizations will be making 10 varieties of trees available to most Denver residents for $25. In some neighborhoods, where trees are scarce, they’ll be provided free.
Trees add to the ambiance of a neighborhood. They increase the oxygen in the air. They help with storm drainage and increase property values.
Deadline for applying for a tree is March 16, 2009.
