Our first State of the Urban Forest report in 2023 outlined how our urban canopy was doing, the progress to achieve the goals of the Urban Forest Strategic Plan (UFSP), the work planned to continue to support and grow the urban canopy, and how our community can help.

Our new 2025 State of the Urban Forest report provides updates on the urban canopy (the layer of leaves and branches of trees that provide shade and cover), how it’s either maintaining or trending downwards in different Boulder subcommunities and our progress to achieve the UFSP’s goals.
