Forestry

The City of Fort Collins Forestry Division maintains more than 61,000 trees along streets and in parks, cemeteries, golf courses and other City properties. Our objective is to sustain a safe, healthy and resilient urban forest through frequent and sound tree management practices. 

Fort Collins is proud to be designated an official Tree City, an annual Arbor Day Foundation program that recognizes cities for their commitment to growing greener community.

Rooted in Community, the City’s first-ever Urban Forest Strategic Plan, was adopted by City Council in 2025. The plan is a comprehensive guide for the management, protection and improvement of Fort Collins’ urban forest. It summarizes the state of the City’s urban forest and provides recommendations to ensure that the urban forest remains healthy and vibrant into the future.
