What is The Greenway Foundation's Mission?

     The mission of The Greenway Foundation is to advance the South Platte River and its watershed as a unique environmental, recreational, cultural, scientific and historical amenity that uniquely links our community’s past with its future.
     Since 1974, The Greenway Foundation has led the effort to reclaim the South Platte River and its numerous tributaries from a virtual cesspool to a place of environmental and recreational pride.
     Today, The Greenway Foundation engages the people of Denver, Colorado through 
education programs, water resources, river enhancement projects, and more.

Nocturnal Nature Holiday Camp Recap
February 18, 2019

It is always hardest to wake up on Mondays. And we are diurnal humans! Because of the sleepy nature of Mondays, SPREE spent this past Monday learning about the nocturnal and crepuscular animals that roam our city and state when the sun goes down.  Read about what we learned here!

River Rangers at Vail
February 11, 2019

​
​This Saturday, high school River Ranger interns traveled to Vail with ELK for an SOS Outreach Snowboarding trip. An early morning to beat I-70 traffic started an epic day off right. Most students had never been snowboarding before, so we all tackled the bunny hill as Vail instructors taught the basics of snowboarding. Find out more and see pictures of the newest snowboarding crushers.
