Snowstorm Caused Widespread Tree Damage

Release Date: Friday, October 30th, 2009

Tim Buchanan, City Forester, (970) 221.6361,

Due to the heavy snow this week, many trees have downed limbs and damaged branches. Damaged trees not on City of Fort Collins property are the responsibility of the property owner. If you have downed limbs or branches, please call a local tree-trimming company to remove them. In order to maintain safe passing for pedestrians and bicyclist, please remove the branches from sidewalks and bike lanes. The City is not removing downed limbs and branches that are piled up on private property.
