Green Your Street

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.
