Part 1: State Perspective
19. And not to forget we are the
western most State to have
detected EAB.
20. It can be challenging to grow
our urban tree canopies!
21. Colorado has a diversity of culture, climate
and communities!
Take for example some of our 95 Tree City USA
communites…Our oldest (Ft. Collins and CO Springs)
to our largest (Denver), and smallest (Campo) to 25
year Growth Award recipient (Durango)
DENVER
DURANGO
22. Although quite different and unique these communities
have something in common…be it a Mountain Valley
town, Eastern Plains community, a Front Range City or
a dot on the map on our West Slope…these forests
have been for the most part created, cared-for and
valued by people. People coming together to create a
better quality of life where they live, work and play!
Partnerships!
