Cheyenne Tree Code Title 12 Section 2.4 regulates trees in the public right-of-way and parks. Removal, planting, or major pruning of street trees requires city approval through the Urban Forestry program.
Cheyenne Code Title 12 Chapter 2 Section 2.4 covers public trees, defining authority over street trees, park trees, and trees in the public right-of-way. Property owners abutting these areas must obtain city Urban Forestry approval before planting, removing, or significantly pruning public trees. Approved species lists favor hardy specimens adapted to Cheyenne's High Plains climate, alkaline soils, and frequent winds. The Tree Code also allows the city to address hazardous trees, diseased specimens such as those affected by Dutch elm or emerald ash borer concerns, and trees interfering with sight distance at intersections.
Unauthorized removal or topping of public trees can result in restitution costs based on appraised tree value, replacement-planting requirements, and code citations under Title 12 Section 2.4.
