Services Offered by Colorado Springs Forestry
The City Forester is responsible for the maintenance and management of trees in parks and along streets in the public right-of-way (R.O.W.).* The assistance of adjacent homeowners is needed for watering, fertilizing and mulching trees on public property. If an adjacent property owner desires to have additional work done on street trees, they must first obtain a permit from the City Forester's Office.
