HOW AVENUES PT IS MAKING CHEYENNE A LITTLE GREENER
the treesgobuthe immediately replaced themwith 6 others. He planted four maple trees, a plum tree, and a buckeye tree. They have grown significantly since they were planted and now provide much needed shade to his deck and yard. Kelsey decided to have Avenues Physical Therapy Clinic become a sponsor of this year’s Rooted In Cheyenne program because there are numerous health and wellness benefits that come from living in a Tree City. Research has linked the presence of urban trees to improved air quality which in turn reduces the rates of cardiac disease, stroke, and asthma. Trees also decrease obesity levels by increasing physical activity, such as walking and cycling in tree-lined neighborhoods. Kelsey plans to attend Rooted In Cheyenne’s 1st AnnualTreeandGardenTouron theHistoricDubois Block on June 9. His yard will be part of that tour. He also hopes to help Rooted In Cheyenne plant trees on May 18.
When he moved into his current house over eight years ago, there were four trees on the property— two large 100-year old cottonwood trees and two largebluespruce trees. Unfortunately, the treeshad tobecutdownbecause thecottonwood treeswere rotted and hollowed out and the blue spruces were dangerouslyclose to thehouse. Kelseyhated tosee
