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.

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.

Mara Maxwell

Lead Designer and Project Manager - Maxco Innovative Builders, Inc.

Participating in the Clean Water Challenge as a student was an interesting project that presented a lot of unusual challenges. As designers we want to make beautiful things, but creating something that cleans up trash efficiently while not marring the beautiful Colorado landscape was a unique experience. Of course, winning the design challenge with Nautilus was incredibly rewarding on its own, but getting to see your idea come to life and function as intended in the real world is quite remarkable.

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.

Ivan Tochimani-Hernandez

GLC Participant & River Ranger

The Greenway Foundation has helped direct my track in my current major. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to learn about in college but my experiences through The Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC) and River Rangers helped me understand that ecology is much more than human’s interactions with the environment. I am now an Earth Science major at Dartmouth College, studying soil sciences with a focus on Agricultural systems – a huge shift from my previous thoughts before my Greenway experiences.
