Since 1974, The Greenway Foundation has led the effort to reclaim the South Platte River and its tributaries from a virtual cesspool to a place of environmental and recreational pride. The mission of The Greenway Foundation is to advance the South Platte River and the surrounding tributaries as a unique environmental, recreational, cultural, scientific and historical amenity that uniquely links our Denver's past with its future. This mission is accomplished by: • Creating ongoing environmental and riparian enhancements • Holding property, when needed, in conservation easements • Utilizing the River as an outdoor and historical learning resource • Hosting free cultural events promoting the relationship between the River and music, art and theatre • Providing youth employment opportunities through the Greenway River Ranger program • Promoting good stewardship through our hands-on South Platte River Environmental Education (SPREE) programs
