What can the city do about a tree that is dead or dying?

Category: Tree Concerns

In general, the city does not require the removal of standing dead or dying trees, with a few exceptions.  If you believe a tree could be hazardous or a risk to adjacent property or people, please submit a My Thornton request and the city’s Forestry staff will investigate.

Additional information on the city’s Forestry program is available on this page: Forestry.
