Urban & Community Forestry | Colorado State Forest Service | Colorado State University Urban & Community Forestry The Colorado State Forest Service is committed to helping communities manage their trees. Urban forests are the trees and green spaces in our cities and towns. They are dynamic ecosystems that improve the quality of life for everyone in Colorado.
Urban forests provide important benefits, including clean air and water, lower energy costs, wildlife habitat, noise reduction, economic value, shade, places to recreate, and color, structure and beauty in our communities. Community Forestry Resources The Colorado State Forest Service offers a variety of programs and resources to help communities in Colorado manage their urban forests.
Tree Inventories and Data An inventory of a community’s public trees is often the first step toward effectively managing the urban forest. A tree inventory can be very useful, as it will identify tree species, hazardous trees, pruning needs, insect problems, incidence of disease and open spaces available for tree planting. The inventory is an integral part of any long-range plan to sustain the urban forest.
The CSFS can help communities conduct a tree inventory and provide technical assistance in developing an urban forest management plan. Contact the Urban & Community Forestry Program staff at the bottom of this webpage or your local CSFS field office for information. Communities can house and manage their tree data on the Colorado Tree View (CO-TreeView) platform.
CO-TreeView is an online, user-friendly tree inventory and mapping tool that records the location, species and condition of the trees that make up Colorado’s urban forests. Grants and Funding Assistance The CSFS has funding available to enhance urban forests in Colorado through the Colorado Urban & Community Forestry grant program , created with funding through the USDA Forest Service.

Learn More About the Arborist School Careful planning is necessary when selecting and planting a tree. It is important to plant the right tree in the right location at the right time of year. The Colorado State Forest Service provides guidance on selecting, planting and caring for trees in our communities.
Get Tips on Selecting, Planting and Caring for Trees Arbor Day is a holiday where people plant and celebrate trees. The first Arbor Day was celebrated in Nebraska in 1872 and commemorated with the planting of a million trees. The Colorado State Legislature voted in 1889 to designate Arbor Day a state holiday on the third Friday in April, as described in the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.
R. S. 24-11-104).
The Colorado State Forest Service champions Colorado Arbor Day and helps the state recognize National Arbor Day on the last Friday in April. Visit the Arbor Day Foundation to learn more about the Tree Planters’ Holiday and get ideas for how you can celebrate Arbor Day in your community.

Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
