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) came home excited to share what she learned every day. Thank you and well done! You all did a fantastic job — such great content and the kids were so jazzed every day.

 
Chompers – Mission 5

Find a good book. Make sure it’s one you really want to read. Now, take that book outside. Find a comfy spot and read for 30 minutes. When you’re done, think about how you feel.

 
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?

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.

I had the privilege of taking my group of first graders to Commons Park with SPREE. The students participated in 5 different visits and each visit had a different focus which tied into their Animal Adaptation unit. Students were engaged and got so much out of each visit! The staff was incredibly intentional in their approach and made these visits so hands on and enjoyable. Students loved being able to deepen their learning through the use of the South Platte and all Denver’s parks have to offer. Hearing students applying what they learned in SPREE to their learning back at school was incredible and all thanks to their remarkable staff. The staff is passionate about providing students with meaningful learning experiences!
