For the past three decades, volunteers with the Pueblo nonprofit organization Trees Please have been getting their hands dirty to help beautify Pueblo.
Since its founding in 1990 by Puebloans Jean Latka and Jean Eskra, Trees Please has planted more than 4,500 trees throughout town and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local planting efforts.
Their latest initiative saw 106 trees planted Monday and Tuesday along the Elizabeth Street Parkway by about 20 Trees Please volunteers, funded primarily through $24,000 in grants from the Bob and Doris Johnston Foundation and the Rawlings Foundation.
Latka said for the past 30 years, she’d driven through the area of the parkway and wondered, “Why doesn’t somebody plant this?”

Pueblo County is posting images of most ballots from the 2020 general election online as a way for citizens to self-audit ballots to verify election results, following an election season rife with debunked claims of fraud in the voting process.
“This year because of all of the disinformation and I want to be specific, not misinformation but knowingly-told lies about the election I made the decision that I wanted to put it all on my website,” Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz said.
“I thought this was the perfect opportunity to show the integrity of our elections.”
Ortiz, a Democrat elected to the clerk position in 2006, testified to the State Auditor’s Board in January that he would make ballot images available online. As of April 8, that promise is met.
