Welcome!

The Park People's mission is to work with communities to plant trees and improve parks for a healthy, resilient future.

We improve parks by raising funds for park projects, like the reconstruction of the Cranmer Park Sundial & Plaza, and we support the urban forest through our programs: Denver Digs Trees, Mile High Tree Champions, TreeForce, Community Forester, and the Park Legacy program.

Donate to The Park People this giving season to help us

meet our $50,000 match.

Your contribution supports parks, trees, and Denver's communities.

We are gearing up to begin outreach for our 2023 Denver Digs Trees distribution!
