Services and Programs

The Urban Forestry Section is committed to maintaining a healthy and safe urban forest as well as preserving an extensive and diverse tree cover for future generations. A collateral benefit is maximizing the visual, social, economic, and environmental contributions this natural resource has to offer for our citizens and visitors. These efforts have earned the City of Boulder the Tree City USA designation by the National Arbor Day Foundation since 1984.
