City and County of Denver Government

Last year, the city confirmed the presence of the emerald ash borer within city limits. There are 1.45 million ash trees in the Denver metro area, with 330,000 of them in the City and County of Denver. That means about 1 in every 6 trees in the Mile High City is an ash tree, and 1 in every 10 trees on public land in Denver is an ash tree. Learn how to protect your trees from this invasive bug.
