Beginning Mon., April 9, Fort Collins Utilities and Parks and Recreation will remove fallen trees and other debris along the Poudre River to prevent flooding and increase safety. The number of trees removed is expected to be greater this year due to the damaging storms last October.
During high river flows, the fallen trees and debris can wash downstream and damage bridges or cause increased flooding. Trees that are firmly anchored in the river bank will not be removed, as they provide a beneficial habitat.
For more information, call (970) 221-6700, e-mail or TDD (970) 224-6003. To learn about local flooding issues, visit http://www.fcgov.com/stormwater.
