2011-2015
In 2011, TGF hosted a new signature event – Gala on the Bridge – located on the 19th Historic Bridge. An increased focus on improving the quality of the stream flow in the watershed launches PURE (Protect our Urban River Environment). Community volunteer events increase and SPREE continues to expand both during the academic year as well as summer camps involving high school aged River Rangers as well as weekend family-focused events. Art on the River, in partnership with Art Students League, engages artists from around the Metro Denver community to create works of art celebrating the South Platte River.
