make your tree count
Planting a tree can help stop global warming. Trees use nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium - all byproducts of urban living. In fact, a single tree will absorb about 1.3 tons of carbon dioxide over its average 70-year lifespan.
A Community Project
Tree by Tree – The Mile High Million is a metro-wide tree planting initiative. More than 40 cities, counties, park districts and organizations in the Denver area are participating in the program and encouraging the planting of trees within their communities and neighborhoods.
Who Can Participate
Everyone is encouraged to participate in this campaign by planting trees, informing us of tree plantings, and volunteering time to tree planting organizations.
