Plan(t) For The Future.
The City of Fort Collins has 1,300 vacant tree sites - trees that once existed but haven't been replaced.
Ash Trees make up 33% of our canopy with over 7,000 in the City's inventory, and they are in danger. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a wood-boring beetle that's made its way to Colorado. To keep our tree canopy lush and healthy, join us and plant a tree resistant to EAB.
