The Denver Digs Trees Program Returns!

The Park People – a local environmental nonprofit that advocates for
Denver’s parks, recreation resources and urban forest – is gearing up for
its annual tree distribution effort. This tree distribution effort, aptly
named Denver Digs Trees, provides Denver residents with free or low cost
trees for planting in the public right-of way. The Denver Digs Trees program
addresses Denver’s critical need to expand its urban canopy and is the only
city-wide tree distribution program. Denver’s current canopy coverage is
10.4%; recommended urban canopy coverage guidelines for U.S. cities west of
the Mississippi is 25%. (Time Magazine, 6/21/07). The Denver Digs Trees
program – in partnership with the City and County of Denver, numerous local
community nonprofits and neighborhood groups – is working to address this
deficit in our urban canopy. The program has added over 35,000 trees to
Denver’s urban forest.

This year the Denver Digs Trees program will be offering ten different
varieties of trees to interested Denver residents. Our 2009 Tree Roster
includes Bur Oak, Corinthian Linden, Green Mountain Sugar Maple, Magyar
Ginkgo Biloba, Regent Japanese Pagoda Tree, Turkish Filbert, Green Vase
Zelkova, Kentucky Coffee Tree and two smaller ornamental varieties – the
Winter King Hawthorn and the Summer Splendor Tatarian Maple.

On average, each tree costs The Park People over $100; thanks to program
sponsorship, trees will be available to most Denver residents for just $25. .
The deadline for submitting an application for a street tree is March 16th,
2009. Trees will be available for pickup at a distribution site on Saturday,
April 18, 2009. Denver residents interested in receiving an application or in
getting involved in our program should contact Program Manager Robert Bond at
303-722-6262 or e-mail info@theparkpeople.org.
