Tree Cleanup a Challenge for City Forester and Springs Residents

Many of you are dealing with downed trees from the recent snowstorm.  City Forester, Dennis Will, says the department gives priority to downed and damaged city trees and trees in the public right of way.  Crews usually focus on trees blocking the public right of way or pose a danger to the public. 

Will says the City does not respond to trees down on private property unless power lines are involved or lives are endangered.

For trees on private property, the challenge now is cleanup.  Visit the city's website for a list of contractors here:  coloradosprings.gov/downtree
