'Transplants' from out of state will replace the original plantings from 1982.
Denver will mark Arbor Day early this year with a celebration today, April 26, at 1001 17th Street Plaza, just steps from the 16th Street Mall — where the city is actively chopping down forty-year-old trees to make room for transplants.
"These trees are at the end of their useful life span," Miller says. While some may look healthy to the inexperienced eye, many are"growing at a really slow rate," she notes, and many more have"structural issues." According to Miller, the growing conditions in the tree's respective hometowns are much more forgiving than the extremes of Colorado's climate, and young trees grow up healthier and faster.
The collaborative project between the downtown BID and the city began last April and will conclude sometime next year with a complete makeover of the. Part of the renovation includes the wholesale replacement of the street's tree canopy at an extra cost of $1.9 million, according to Nancy Kuhn, spokesperson for the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
