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.

Get Involved

The Park People are ramping up our Tree Stewardship efforts city wide. 

Ready to roll up your sleeves to join us in keeping our city healthy? 

Sign up Here to become a Volunteer and receive notifications about upcoming events. 

Our urban trees need our support to stay healthy and resilient during the winter months.

Throughout the fall, we will be watering, mulching and wrapping young trees so they are protected during harsh weather. 

 

Make an impact in your community!

By donating to our spring appeal, not only will United Airlines double your gift, but you will be gifting all residents the beauty and benefits of trees.

Donate today to support Denver Digs Trees and help us meet our match! 🌳

Thank you to our matching funders:
