Springtime in Erie, Colorado
by Paula King, Erie Colorado Specialist
One of the perks of living in Erie is the annual Tree Incentive Program. The town subsidizes up to $125 per family for a tree purchased at one of the many local tree farms. They pay half the cost of the tree, with the aforementioned cap.
It is a great way to encourage tree growth in the area and a terrific community spirit builder. There are 700 certificates available, with a cap of $87,000. All you have to do is call the hotline at 303/926-2739 to register.
First come, first served. And, you have to be a resident of Erie. Some residents even hold their certificates until the Fall 1/2 price sales and get a free tree.
Another free program is an irrigation audit. A consultant will come to your home to make sure you have an efficient sprinkler system. They check sprinkler pressure, root depth and soil type. It is designed to improve your use of your irrigation system and make it a more efficient and waste-free process. For more information, ou can call 303/441-3278 ext. 17, or register on line at http://www.conservationcenter.org. I signed up for this one, too.

Got something to say?
I’m not a resident of Erie.
The lack of trees in our cities is a common problem. Unfortunately this problem is mainly caused by our citizens who actively cut down hundreds of trees every year. There should be more programs that will encourage people for planting, not cutting down.
Anyways, it’s great that there are people who starts up programs of this kind. They surely can be proud of themselves
I like this program. I wish our town did something like that. What a great idea!
This sounds like a great way to get the community involved into conservation and the environment!
I really like this program. Because lack of trees is very common problem in different communities.
