Hello -
We have a huge Russian olive tree we would like to cut down. Is there any sort of funding available to help Colorado homeowners cover the cost of removing noxious trees? I seen to recall at one time grants were available.
Thank you -

Hi Debbie,
Many Counties in Colorado do have programs that help cover costs of removing listed noxious weeds. I believe Garfield County does have a cost-share program for this but you will need to check with their Vegetation Management department. Steve Anthony is the Vegetation Manager for Garfield and his number is<personal data hidden>, ext. 4305. Here is the link to their website: https://www.garfield-county.com/vegetation-management/.
