Tree Branch Assistance/Ayuda para el retiro de ramas de árboles#
Are you a resident in need of assistance with branch removal? ¿Es usted un residente que necesita ayuda para ramas?
Sign up to receive help from volunteers to remove downed tree branches from your yard. Applications are now open! If you need assistance applying, email Michaela Mitchell at mmitchell@fcgov.com or call/text 970-658-9523.
You must meet the following criteria to apply:
- You live within City of Fort Collins or Growth Management Area Limits.
- You live on a "local road" meaning fewer than 1,000 vehicles per day. Generally, if your road has a center line, it is not considered a local road. For example, residents living Taft Hill Rd would not qualify for this program. This is for our volunteers' safety.
- You do not have someone else in your life able to remove the branches for you. (Due to limited volunteers and the high demand, we must prioritize those who need assistance most.)

Inscríbase para recibir ayuda de voluntarios para retirar las ramas caídas en su patio. ¡Las solicitudes se abrirán pronto! Si necesita ayuda para solicitar, escriba un correo electrónico a Michaela Mitchell a mmitchell@fcgov.com o llame/envíe un mensaje de texto al 970-658-9523.
Debe cumplir los siguientes criterios para presentar una solicitud:
- Vivir dentro de los límites de la ciudad de Fort Collins o del área de gestión de crecimiento.
- Vivir sobre una "carretera local", lo que significa que transitan menos de 1.000 vehículos por día. Por lo general, si su carretera tiene una línea central no se considera una carretera local. Por ejemplo, los residentes de Taft Hill Rd no califican para este programa. Esto es para la seguridad de nuestros voluntarios.
- No tiene a nadie más que pueda retirar las ramas por usted. (Dada la cantidad limitada de voluntarios y la alta demanda, debemos priorizar a aquellos que más necesiten la ayuda).

Adopt A Neighbor#
We are in a unique and uncertain time, but we are in it together. The coronavirus situation puts some of our friends, families and neighbors at greater risk. Yet, with all the uncertainty, we have the chance to show the world that Fort Collins is a truly exceptional community that rises up to help one another.
The City is seeking healthy volunteers to assist with services to our vulnerable populations. We are launching an expansion of the Adopt-A-Neighbor program to pair volunteers with neighbors in need during the current pandemic. Volunteers will assist neighbors who are vulnerable to COVID-19 with daily tasks, such as grocery shopping and delivery, picking up medications, sidewalk shoveling, and pet care. Specific needs and schedules will vary and need to be coordinated by the volunteer and neighbor they are paired with for the program.
