Denver Digs Trees, Get Yours For Free
The Park People’s tree distribution program — Denver Digs Trees — has helped add a ton of green to city blocks. And though it seems a wee bit early to be thinking about spring, now’s the time to apply for FREE trees that will be distributed in the spring. And this year all Denver residents are eligible for the freebies, regardless of where they live in the city. Here’s how it works: trees that normally cost as much as $125 are FREE if you agree to plant them in the public right-of-way (the green belt between a sidewalk and the street). Apply early and get your choice of tree variety specially selected for our climate. And you’ll have to pick up your tree(s) on April 21 (yep, you have to plant them yourself). In addition, as part of the Mile High Million tree planting initiative, those with space on the west side of their homes (in front, back or side yards or along the street) can have trees delivered and planted for them. In both cases, applications are due no later than Feb. 15. Questions? Call 303-722-6262.
