Don't Touch That Tree!
The City of
Aurora
planted trees in residential areas when our neighborhood was established.
Many different types of trees have been planted (Honey Locust trees are
very common in Peoria Park). Once the tree is
planted, it remain the property of and the responsibility of
the City to maintain. The trees were planted about 5 feet behind the
sidewalk along the street. Trimming, insect and disease control and
removal are all part of the services provided by the Forestry
Division. The Forestry Division has over 50,000 trees in the
City of Aurora and only 14 forestry workers so be patient with your
requests. A computerized inventory of residential city street
trees is maintained in the Forestry department. Call the Forestry
office at 303 739-7177 to see if a tree in your yard belongs to the City.
If it is a city tree and it needs maintenance call the Forestry office.
Do
not cut down a city tree without the permission of the City in writing.
You could receive a $3,000 fine.
The PPCA will provide
information to all new residents regarding the potential for a City tree in
their yard in the Welcome Packs. An
inventory of City Ttrees is on file with the PPCA secretary. Call Jane
Deacon at (303) 337-4950 to see if you have a City Tree on your property.
