Rooted in Cheyenne Cheyenne's tree planting program: helping to support a more diverse and resilient urban canopy

Cheyenne is experiencing a high mortality rate in its street tree population as the result of an aging forest and past extreme weather events. In addition, citizens are not adequately replacing dead trees which results in large gaps in the tree canopy. With the threat of Emerald Ash Borer and the likely loss of thousands of ash trees once it arrives, Cheyenne’s forest canopy is in serious jeopardy

. The need for a community tree planting program in Cheyenne is critical to maintain our forest canopy where trees are likely to die or have died and extend our forest canopy where trees are less abundant.

❓"Why would I plant a tree close to my driveway?
🏡For shade of course!
🐦This homeowner says that dealing with the "gifts" birds leave them are worth every bit of shade these two Ash trees provide! We agree and congratulate you on setting a great example!

🫣All RIC Homeowners, can we ask you to do your tree(s) a favor?
👀Go out today, removed the water bag, and take a good look at how it is doing.
🏡Arbor Tie should never cut into the stem of a tree, much less become included in the branch unions. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to do with this one but cut as much of the arbor tie out as possible.
⏰Make it a habit to give your trees a thorough examination once a month to ensure they are doing okay! They'll thank you for years and years to come.

Jackie and Patrick were out marking planting locations in preparations to request utility locates through . And although they had proper lunches, it never fails that Jackie ends up with marking paint all over her hands.
She is a better tree planter than painter, that is for sure!
