SE Colorado Tree Boards
Tree Boards play a critical role in the management
of our "community" forests. Cities and
towns have trees that require management by people
knowledgeable in tree care and who have an understanding
of the important roles that trees fill in our
communities. Volunteering as a tree board member
can be exciting and rewarding! If you would like
to volunteer for a tree board in Southeastern
Colorado, or would like to begin the process of
establishing a tree board within your community,
please contact Shelly at the Colorado State Forest
Service District Office in La Junta at (719) 384-9087.
