DENVRE (KDVR) -- The city and county of Denver planted its final tree on Thursday as part of its effort to meet Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's 2025 climate and resilience goals.

The tulip tree was planted at Benedict Fountain Park in Denver's North Capitol Hill neighborhood and symbolized the "successful achievement" of a goal to plant 4,500 trees throughout the city, Denver Parks and Recreation said Thursday.

"This accomplishment demonstrates what is possible when we work across departments to improve the quality of life for residents,” said DPR Executive Director Jolon Clark, in a statement. "The trees planted this year will provide long-term benefits—cleaner air, cooling shade, and gathering places all for a more resilient city.”
