Forests, Plains & Trees
The landscape of Colorado showcases the diversity of the Great Plains, the majestic Rocky Mountains and the high deserts of the western slope.
Plains
Colorado’s plains are a unique grassland prairie ecosystem and include riparian forests along river corridors, agroforestry windbreaks, recreational area plantings, and community forests in cities and towns.
Trees
The act of planting a tree benefits current and future generations. Trees are planted for many conservation purposes, including windbreaks and living snow fences, wildlife habitat and forest restoration.
