Sharing a passion, appreciation and dedication to the advancement of gardening, public horticulture and conservation. The gardens offer an experiential and educational setting for the community and its visitors.
Community Forestry
Basalt’s urban forest produces many significant benefits. Our urban forest has a positive impact on the physical environment (increased property value and reduced energy costs and water runoff), our social environment (community health and well-being, recreational opportunities, reduced noise levels, and creation of buffer zones), and our highly valued natural environment (decreased soil erosion and improvements in wildlife habitat and air and water quality) (McPherson 1994; Nowak 1994).
The Town of Basalt is dedicated to preserving a healthy and safe urban forest.
Our tree management program includes planting, inspection for insects and disease, trimming and removal of dead or hazardous branches or trees.
Take a peek at what will be blooming in the Town Gardens from spring through fall...
