Revitalizing Rivers. Reconnecting Communities.

Event Recap: Fall Riversweep

Thank You to all of our incredible RiverSweep Volunteers and Sponsors!

Thank you to the 200 adult and youth volunteers that helped clean and improve Denver parks along the South Platte River on Saturday, September 27th! 

The Greenway Foundation teams up twice yearly at this semiannual event with CH2M Hill, Denver Parks + Recreation, and many other sponsors and volunteer groups to make a difference in Denver!

This year, our amazing volunteers: planted 125 plants, thinned two cubic yards of coyote willows, removed nine cubic yards of kochia, collected ten yards of plant debris, spread 34 yards of mulch, collected five yards of leaves collected, collected 24 yards of willow branches, collected 20 bags of trash, and painted nine trees with beaver paint. And much more!!
