Denver Digs Trees: Low-canopy, Focus Neighborhoods

The Park People works across Denver to nurture a diverse, vibrant, and verdant urban forest. It’s essential to keep planting everywhere in order to maintain a diverse forest. But, we put more effort and resources into areas with lower tree canopy in order to bring the benefits of trees to everyone.

We recognize 28 focus neighborhoods:

Athmar Park, Auraria, Baker, Barnum, Barnum West, Chaffee Park, Clayton, Cole, College View/South Platte, East Colfax, Elyria-Swansea, Five Points, Globeville, Green Valley Ranch, Jefferson Park, Lincoln Park, Mar Lee, Montbello, Northeast Park Hill, Overland, Ruby Hill, Skyland, Sun Valley, Valverde, Villa Park, West Colfax, Westwood, and Whittier.
