Rooted in Cheyenne

The Program

Rooted in Cheyenne provides low cost, and in some cases free, trees to residents of the city of Cheyenne. We buy the tree, plant it, and care for the tree for 1 year after planting, ensuring the long term health of the tree.

How you can get involved

Through our partnership with ChangeX and the Cheyenne Community Challenge, supported by Microsoft, we want to make it easier for more people to plant trees in their neighborhood. At this time of social distancing, it's difficult to engage in community tree planting events but each of us can plant one or two trees on our public right-of-ways or boulevards and encourage our neighbors to do the same. You can apply here to get two free trees and the support you need to plant them. Together, we can cultivate greener, healthier and more livable neighborhoods right across the city.

The Benefits

There are so many benefits to planting more trees including reducing energy costs for home owners, increasing property value, controlling stormwater run off, decreasing carbon emissions and boosting neighborhood health and connectivity. Let's ensure that as many Cheyenne citizens as possible can experience these benefits.
