Boulder Tree Recovery

In September 2013, City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department forestry staff discovered an EAB infestation within the city. The estimated number of public, private, and naturalized ash in Boulder is over 70,000 trees. The Boulder Tree Recovery fund distributed 329 trees to Boulder residents in April 2017 to replace those lost to EAB. Here’s a glimpse into the tree distribution event.
