Community Tree Planting Initiative

The City and County of Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency is seeking a qualified contractor to manage all phases of a multi‑year community tree‑planting program. The work includes equitable outreach and recruitment of participants, procurement and logistics for thousands of trees, planting operations, post‑planting care, education, and health‑tracking over a three‑year establishment period, with a five‑year contract term to support ongoing maintenance and reporting.
