Elizabeth Judd

Urban Forestry Planner, City & County of Denver

Elizabeth is a native New Yorker, but grew up along the coast of Maine. Her interest in the landscape began early and developed with exposure to ecology, landscape architecture, and planning. She moved west 17 years ago to pursue a job opportunity in a small Landscape Architecture firm with a focus on large public lands planning and design.

Elizabeth made a timely transition to local government in 2007 and after many years as the first dedicated Landscape Architect in Development Review for Boulder, CO, is now the first full-time Urban Forestry Planner for the City and County of Denver. She works directly in the Office of the City Forester and across the organization to help develop a vision for the urban forest and promote an integrated and equitable approach to growing the urban canopy. When not working, you can find her traveling, cooking, spending time outside, and generally messing around with plants.
