What do Boulder trees actually need?
Boulder is also where emerald ash borer was first detected in Colorado, in September 2013 by Boulder Forestry. That history shapes tree care here more than in almost any other Front Range city. The City manages roughly 1,300 public ash trees on a treatment program, and private ash owners face the same treat-or-remove decision on their own trees. Boulder additionally licenses tree work within city limits and restricts work on public right-of-way trees and pest-infested trees to licensed certified arborists, so knowing whether your tree is a city tree or your tree matters before anyone starts cutting.

Is there an emerald ash borer problem in Boulder?
Boulder is in Boulder County, which is where emerald ash borer was first detected in Colorado. Boulder Forestry found it in the city in September 2013. Any ash tree in this area needs a decision: ongoing preventive treatment, or planned removal while the tree is still safe to work on. The Colorado quarantine around Boulder County was repealed effective December 30, 2019, but the pest itself is still active here.
How quickly can you get to a hazardous tree in Boulder?
Storm damage, hanging limbs, and trees that have failed but not fallen are treated as priority work rather than scheduled around a seasonal window. Call 303-630-9772 and describe what happened and what is underneath the tree.
Do I need a permit for tree work in Boulder?
It depends on the tree's location and the jurisdiction. Trees in a public right-of-way are generally managed by the municipality rather than the adjacent property owner. In the City of Boulder specifically, work on right-of-way trees and on pest-infested trees is restricted to arborists licensed by the City. Because the boundary between your tree and the public tree is not always obvious from the curb, confirm the status with your local forestry office before scheduling removal.
