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, TreeForceCommunity Forester, and the Park Legacy program.

Upcoming Events

Help increase tree canopy in Denver! 

Spread the word about free & low-cost trees offered through the Denver Digs Trees program. Join a volunteer canvassing team and walk the NE Park Hill neighborhood to distribute informational doorhangers.  We'll meet as a group, and then head out in pairs. It's easy and fun! The canvass will occur from 9am to noon.  Free hot coffee and light snack provided.

You’ll leave doorhangers letting people know about this special opportunity to receive free and low-cost trees. These trees will grow to cool neighborhoods, conserve energy, filter air pollution, provide habitat for wildlife, beautify our neighborhoods, and reduce greenhouse gases!

Not only will you be helping the environment and our local community, it’s also a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, and meet new people while you’re at it.
