Usually, through the Denver Digs program, the city of Denver sells street trees at a reduced rate. Ours were $35 a few years ago. This year they are ALL FREE to ALL DENVER RESIDENTS. Most trees can be planted for you for FREE. There are some stipulations. This is a great opportunity to organize your block to get a free street and have it planted. There’s no reason why every block in Denver can’t have a tree lined Street.
“In an effort to reduce residential energy costs and provide job training for local youth, The Mile High Million is planting trees in neighborhoods across Denver. Funded as part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to improve community energy efficiency through the City’s Greenprint Denver programs, the Trees for Energy Savings program will strategically plant 4,600 trees to shade homes and other structures to reduce energy usage and lower energy bills for residents. The program also strives to spur economic growth by creating jobs.”
