Snow may still be on the ground, but spring is coming. In preparation for planting season, The Park People is now accepting applications for its annual Denver Digs Trees street tree program. Denver residents who have room to add a street tree must submit a tree request by March 16. Trees are just $25, or free for homeowners in 21 target neighborhoods.The trees will be distributed on Saturday, April 18. "Our Denver Digs Trees program is a time-honored tradition in Denver, and, as The Park People celebrates our 40th birthday this year, the program holds even more significance," says Paige Heydon-McCrary, executive director of The Park People. "Annually, we distribute between 1,200-1,600 street trees throughout Denver. We have enhanced the city's urban forest by adding more than 35,000 street trees, with hundreds more sold each year at our Earth Day tree sale."
