Community Canopy Program#
Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation's Community Canopy program, 1,000 trees will be provided to residents within Fort Collins' Growth Management Area for $25 each. These trees will help homeowners lower energy costs, filter air and water, reduce stormwater runoff, slow climate change, and green our neighborhoods.

How It Works#
- Beginning on August 7 at 8 a.m., a link will be posted on this website to Arbor Day Foundation's tree purchase platform. On the tree purchasing platform, an online tool will be used to determine the ideal location to plant a new tree in your yard. This tool will also estimate the annual savings that result from the tree over time and will also allow you to purchase your tree.
- Residents of the Fort Collins Growth Management Area may reserve three trees per household and are expected to plant them in the location provided by the online tool and provide ongoing care.
- The 5-10 foot trees will be available at a pick-up event on Saturday, September 9 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. for those who have made tree reservations. Pick-up times will be selected during tree purchase.
- Unclaimed trees will be donated if not claimed by September 23, 2023.
- The Community Canopy Program reservation site will remain active until all 1,000 trees are reserved.
