The Office of the City Forester will be performing preventative tree work along Monaco Parkway, between 1st Ave. and 6th Ave., over the next 3 to 4 years. Many of the locust trees in this area of the Parkway are dying from an incurable disease common in locust trees in our area, thyronectria canker.
The project will start in the winter of 2021 with removing the trees in the worst condition. Removal will continue over the next three to four years as trees continue to decline.
Adjacent property owners will be mailed a notice of this project before it begins. Soon, residents will begin to see trees in this area marked with a ribbon to indicate the need for removal and replacement. Starting in the spring of 2021, trees will be replaced with a mix of species.
The City Forester request your help in maintaining the trees through supplemental watering and avoid wounding when mowing or trimming. Should you have any questions about tree care or the upcoming work being done, please email forestry@denvergov.org.
