Cheyenne Forestry

Dedicated to improving Cheyenne's urban forest by working with citizens, businesses, government agencies and tree care professionals in fostering a safe, healthy, and diverse tree canopy to enhance the beauty and prosperity of Cheyenne. Cheyenne Urban Forestry is a division within the Parks and Recreation Department and is charged with maintaining all city-owned trees, including trees in parks, golf courses, cemeteries, along the greenway and on city properties. The forestry division provides a full complement of tree care services, including planting, mulching, watering, insect and disease identification and treatment, pruning and removals.

The tree house opened in 2005 and has been a popular attraction in Lion's Park. With decks at 4 feet, 8 feet, 10 feet, 12 feet, 16 feet and 20 feet high, the tree house provides a "bird's eye" view of life in the urban forest. Interpretive signs located on the four main decks of the tree house, provide information about the many parts of a tree. The tree walk is located in the southwest corner of Lion's Park and is a guided tour of 37 different tree species that are growing in the park. Guides are available free of charge at the Forestry office at 520 W. 8th Ave.
