A public tree needs help

Trees on power lines
If a tree is compromised or touching a power line, STAY AWAY from it and keep pets/children away. Report immediately to Colorado Springs Utilities at 448-4800.

For city trees in parks, open spaces, medians, or along trails, sidewalks, or streets, please report the following issues:

  • Damaged, declining or dead trees from drought, insect and disease
  • Overgrown branches obstructing visibility of traffic or school signs, or around corners at intersections
  • Broken or downed limbs due to extreme weather conditions
  • Branches interfering with private property - driveways, roofs, fences, vehicles
  • Branches hanging too low over the street or sidewalk
  • Structural failure - significant trunk damage, cracks, or lean
