The Rooted in Community Tree Sale, a joint initiative between the City's Forestry Division and Nature in the City, is set to take place on August 11, 2025, at 8 a.m.[1][2] This exciting event offers 1,000 locally grown trees for sale at just $25 each, with residents encouraged to purchase up to two trees per household.[4]
The sale aims to expand Fort Collins' urban forest, providing numerous benefits to the community and the environment. These benefits include reduced energy demand and heat mitigation through shade, improved air quality, and carbon capture, all contributing to a healthier and more sustainable city.[1][3]
Additionally, the Rooted in Community Tree Sale promises to enhance stormwater filtration, increase wildlife habitat, and boost mental and physical health for residents.[1][3] The diverse selection of tree species includes bigtooth maple, catalpa, sucker punch chokecherry, several types of oaks and elms, ornamental trees, and fruit-bearing trees.[5]
