Abstract

Street trees in Cheyenne are comprised of two distinct populations, those managed by the city’s Urban Forestry Division (UFD) and those inspected by the UFD but managed by private property owners. Over the years Cheyenne has invested millions in its municipal forest. The primary question that this study asks is whether the accrued benefits from Cheyenne’s street trees justify the annual expenditures?
