West Denver community members are welcome to join us for this third in a four-workshop series on Rainwater Harvesting. We'll be learning about what "downspout redirects" are, and how we can use them to direct roof run-off toward our trees and plants for cooler, greener yards.

Free supplies and installation help for community members in Valverde, Villa Park, Barnum and Barnum West.

Join us in Cheesman Park for a presentation by Dr. Christina Alba, Associate Research Scientist with the Denver Botanic Gardens. She'll be sharing her team's work collecting data on trees planted along the High Line Canal to evaluate correlation and causation of factors influencing tree health. After her presentation, we will divide into groups and perform tree health checks on trees we've planted in Cheesman in the past three years. Details and signup here.
