Your Actions Make a Difference

Together our actions add up to something incredible. The results are easy to see. And enjoy!
Host Your Own Clean Up
Interested in hosting your own stewardship event with your company or group? We can help!
Young Professionals Trash Pick Ups
Each quarter, we host a park & river clean up for young professionals. This is a fun opportunity to spend some time outside & make a positive impact on your community. Not only will you be contributing to a cleaner, healthier river, but you’ll also have the chance to meet other young professionals who share your passion for giving back and being outside.
Upcoming Stewardship Events
Previous Stewardship Projects
Clean Water Challenge
For many years, The Greenway Foundation hosted an annual, year-long competition for Colorado university students designed to address pollution in the South Platte River. This real-world competition has led to real change for our waterways.
Nautilus
