Storm Clean-up Update – July 10, 2026

Our Town staff and contracted crews continue to work hard cleaning up storm damage across Aurora's streets, parks and trails following the recent storm.

Where we're at

• More than 250 Town trees have sustained significant storm damage.
• Crews are continuing to remove damaged and hazardous trees along Town streets.
• If a tree near your property has been cut down but is still on-site, don't worry. Crews will return in the coming days and weeks with chippers to remove the remaining wood and debris.
• Trees that cannot be saved will be marked with an "R" before they are removed.
• Cleanup in our parks and along trails will begin shortly. Due to the amount of damage, this work is expected to take several weeks.

The Road to Restoring Our Tree Canopy

While many trees were lost, we will restore and strengthen Aurora's tree canopy by replanting trees throughout our streets, parks and trails.

Here's what residents can expect:

• If a Town tree in front of your home has been removed, staff will contact you with information about replacement tree options and the next steps.
• Tree stumps will be removed in fall 2026.
•  New street trees will be planted in 2027.
• Trees in our parks and trails will be replanted by Town staff, with support from community partnerships.

We want to thank everyone for your patience and understanding as this significant cleanup continues.

Together, we'll help Green Aurora again.
