Mission From Chompers:

Find a comfy place outside. Sit down and close your eyes. Listen. What do you hear? Can you hear five different sounds? What are they?

I thought this was one of the best field trips I’ve ever taken my students on. Each activity was perfect for their age, super engaging, and timed well. It built well on what they’ve learned in science and they truly enjoyed it!

We are so thankful that my child was able to participate in Summer Camp last week! I, as a parent, am thankful that we were able to have scholarships and be a part of this amazing outdoor camp. Thanks Greenway!

Today, our river is much healthier because of the work of The Greenway Foundation. In particular, I work closely with TGF’s education wing – South Platte River Environmental Education (SPREE). SPREE helps the City and County of Denver mightily with our stormwater education and outreach requirements, obligations rooted in the Clean Water Act.

Each year, SPREE delivers lessons about water quality to about 10,000 students. These young people learn the how and why of sustainable water behaviors. This impacts their environmental behaviors now and into the future. They share what they learn with their families and friends. I love working with SPREE because of these positive, lasting results. Among Colorado environmental education programs, I know of none better than SPREE.

Chompers – Mission 6

Litter is trash that isn’t thrown away properly. It makes parks less fun to be in, and can hurt animals and plants. With an adult – and some gloves – pick up litter in your neighborhood or local park.

As a third generation Denverite, I am proud to support The Greenway Foundation’s success in returning the South Platte to something we can be proud of. While TGF’s impact on Denver and her surrounding communities is immeasurable, the work is far from over. Their continued efforts toward science education and green initiatives make them an essential partner to the success of our city.
