Denver Residents: Share Your Thoughts on the Future of the Urban Forest

By Linda McDonnell, CSU Extension – Denver Master Gardener since 2013

Have you heard that Denver Parks and Recreation and the Office of the City Forester are collaborating on the city’s first Urban Forest Strategic Plan? It’s important work as improving the urban forest – which includes trees in public and private spaces – will lead to a greener, healthier, and cooler Denver. The purpose includes refining and updating our tree canopy goals and providing a “common and equitable vision” for the future of the city.

Denver residents can get involved by completing the survey linked below. Do it soon, as the extended deadline for submissions is this Friday, September 9th at midnight.
