Last winter, The Greenway Foundation helped get a Clear Intentions glass recycling station installed at Johnson Habitat Park. Since then, 300 pounds of glass have been collected there and saved from ending up in a landfill! Less than 17% of the glass collected in the purple Denver recycling bins actually gets recycled. The rest is used as a liner for landfills. Clear Intentions works to divert glass from landfills by collecting it at separate stations and processing it into a high-quality crushed glass, which is then used in the manufacturing of new glass bottles, terrazzo, and fiberglass insulation. The next time you have some glass to recycle, bring it down to Johnson Habitat Park or find another Clear Intentions collection site near you

This past Saturday, Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV) teamed up with the GLC for a fun morning of trail work in Eldorado Canyon. GLC high school students and WRV’s youth crew leaders worked on a plot of land that was affected by the 2013 flood. We planed seed in a field, and learned that there are actually many steps that are needed to ensure that the seeds will successfully grow! We spread seeds that will grow a variety of native grasses and plants to create ecological diversity in the space. The last step comprised of spreading wood hay over all of the different materials we spread to make sure things were not blown away, and because it will decompose and act as mulch for the seedlings!
