Fall 2026 Rooted in Cheyenne applications open July 1

Published on June 29, 2026

Rooted in Cheyenne’s Fall Planting applications open on July 1 for homeowners within Cheyenne city limits.

All trees approved through the program will be planted on Saturday, Sept. 19. Homeowners can purchase up to two trees at $50 per tree or could be eligible for income-based free trees if guidelines are met.

This planting event will also include free tree areas where homeowners can receive up to two free trees. For Fall 2026, these areas include the neighborhoods south of I-80 and north of College Drive between Walterscheid and Parsley Boulevards. Thanks to sponsorship and funding from Microsoft, Rooted in Cheyenne will be providing 40 free trees to these neighborhoods that desperately need tree canopy.

Trees must be planted along the street or sidewalk to maximize benefits to the entire neighborhood. To apply, visit http://rootedincheyenne.com/apply. Early applications are highly suggested as trees are limited. Once applications are submitted, Rooted in Cheyenne will conduct a site visit to confirm the tree(s) are suitable for the location. Approved applicants will then be able to select and purchase their tree(s) from a list of 11 tree species hardy to Cheyenne.

Trees through Rooted in Cheyenne are all planted by volunteers with oversight from green industry professionals. Members of the community over the age of 12 are encouraged to volunteer for the planting event at www.rootedincheyenne.com/events. Breakfast, lunch, and a long-sleeved shirt will be provided. Online registration prior to the event is required. Volunteers will be paired up with local green industry professionals who will lead crews in planting 100 trees along Cheyenne’s streets.
