The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

Ever biked along the South Platte River, picnicked in Confluence Park, attended a SPREE excursion or summer camp, or caught a trout in downtown Denver? Then you know The Greenway Foundation’s work.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Director of Planning, Design and Construction | Denver Parks & Recreation

I have worked hand-in-hand with the Greenway Foundation for over 15 years to advocate, dream, vision, plan, design and construct improvements to the South Platte River in Denver. We didn’t have two nickels to rub together when we began, but we had the passion, history and expertise of this non-profit that never takes “no” for an answer and now we have invested nearly $100 million in river improvements and we were just awarded $350 million in federal funding to complete the restoration of Denver’s greatest natural resource. Amazing! Thank you Greenway Foundation.

Chompers – Mission 5

Find a good book. Make sure it’s one you really want to read. Now, take that book outside. Find a comfy spot and read for 30 minutes. When you’re done, think about how you feel.

Can I rate this trip? I want to give it a 5 out of 5!

Mara Maxwell

Lead Designer and Project Manager - Maxco Innovative Builders, Inc.

Participating in the Clean Water Challenge as a student was an interesting project that presented a lot of unusual challenges. As designers we want to make beautiful things, but creating something that cleans up trash efficiently while not marring the beautiful Colorado landscape was a unique experience. Of course, winning the design challenge with Nautilus was incredibly rewarding on its own, but getting to see your idea come to life and function as intended in the real world is quite remarkable.

Chompers – Mission 7

Ask an adult to help you find seeds and a place outdoors where you have permission to plant them. After the seeds are in the ground, make sure they have water, sun, and soil to thrive. Enjoy watching them grow!

GLC has definitely changed the way I view the environment. My favorite part of GLC has been being able to go and do things I wouldn’t usually do, like rafting and trail building. I thought that was a really fun experience that you don’t usually get the chance to experience and I made a lot of really cool memories during those trips.
