CHEYENNE - This week, the Cheyenne Urban Forestry Division will be structure pruning trees in the downtown. Trees will also be raised where clearance is an issue above roads and sidewalks. Structure pruning trees to encourage a central leader ensures structural integrity and increases the chances for a long-lived healthy tree. Poor tree structure is one of the leading causes of tree failure. Motorists and pedestrians should be on the lookout for work along the rights-of-way downtown. This project is one of several this winter aimed at improving the health and safety of trees in the downtown. Please contact Urban Forestry at 637-6428, with any questions or concerns.
