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.

What We Do
Ways to Give

We are a group of passionate stewards who care for the South Platte River and its tributaries, and for the people who live, work, and play along its banks.

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.

This truly was the best guided fieldwork I have experienced in my 10 years of teaching! It was so thoughtfully planned. It definitely allowed me to be able to really jump in the fun and enjoy this experience with my kids.

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.

The SPREE instructors were great with the kids. They were fun, the kids had a great time and learned new information. It was great!

Denver would not be the City that it is without the efforts of The Greenway Foundation. The revitalization of the South Platte has defined who we are as a city, and the thousands of kids who have gone through the SPREE program have created a city full of river stewards who are redefining who we will become.
