Here's what's coming into view on Elevating Denver...

OFFICE OF THE CITY FORESTER
The mile-high city is deceptive, a lush green urban canopy grows on a high-plains desert. What makes this possible? Denver’s Office of the City Forester (OCF) promotes health, safety, welfare and quality of life for Denver residents by creating a sustainable urban forest.

The OCF is responsible for the overall quality of Denver’s urban forest, the preservation of trees, and establishing standards for tree removal, maintenance and planting within parks, designated parkways and public right-of-way (streets). Denver's Office of the City Forester actively engages in education and outreach efforts to help residents understand the importance of Denver’s urban forest and encourages them to become partners in its growth and resilience.

ADOPTION MADE EASY
Denver Animal Protection’s Community Engagement Program provides community members with high quality veterinary services, humane education and pet supplies/pet food for people needing extra support.

The bond between an owner and their pet is sacred to the individual, but it is also a deeply important part of our shared culture. The goal of the Community Engagement Program is to honor these relationships and keep pets and people together.

For qualifying Denver pet owners in need of extra support, they offer free veterinary services, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchipping.
