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.

My child had a blast on his 3rd grade field trip to Confluence Park. He came back with so many facts about the area. It was fun for us too!

Fourth Grade Teacher from McMeen Elementary

Very cool trip and was extremely pleased with the organization/implementation of the trip! We will be back and appreciate the hard work that goes into planning these trips.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

My boys have been talking about SPREE camp for months. When we were looking at all the camps in Denver for this summer, the first camp they shouted out was “SPREE!”

Kayla Eckert Uptmor

Chief, Civil Works Omaha District, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

USACE works in partnership with other federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions to find innovative solutions to challenges that affect everyone – sustainability, climate change, endangered species, environmental cleanup, ecosystem restoration and more. The Greenway Foundation has been one such stakeholder who has assisted our projects’ public processes to engage in important advances for a sustainable water future for Colorado.

Ashley Dodge

Director of Growth, BIGWIDESKY

I loved volunteering with The Greenway Foundation for Washington University in St. Louis’s day of service. It gave me a chance to meet members in the community that also care about our waterways. You can share all the memes, articles, and long winded diatribes online or you can roll up your sleeves, put on some gloves, and actively work to make a difference. This made me feel more connected and inspired to join as a FRoG (Friend of Greenway) to continue to support this great cause.

Mariah

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.
