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.

Chompers – Mission 8

Head outside with pencil and paper for a walk. It could be in your neighborhood, in a park, or – best of all – along the river. Make a list or draw pictures of all the wildlife you see. Birds, insects, and mammals.

Take the same walk another day. Do you see the same or different wildlife?

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.

River Ranger Intern

The River Ranger internship made me more environmentally conscious, and it showed me I have a passion for teaching others about the environment once I learn about it….I got to meet a lot of cool people and make a bunch of new friends.

Parent of SPREE LIT Camper

SPREE was an awesome experience (again) for my son. The reports we got from him and the SPREE staff at HQ all point to a summer of learning and growth – especially as they relate to him taking on the role of Leader in Training. It was a fantastic opportunity for him, and I want to thank you for all your work in pulling this together and creating a great pathway to more experience and responsibility within SPREE.

From building connections to campers and relationships with each other, this experience has taught us all so much. The moments together are invaluable. The connections we’ve made go so much than coworkers. We have learned to become a family. And for that, I thank SPREE and The Greenway Foundation.

 
Chompers – Mission 4

Ask an adult to take you to a local park. Before you run to play, take a walk around the park together. Notice the plants and animals that you see. Point out things that you think are interesting, and ask what is interesting to your adult.
