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.

Tree Health Checks

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.

Join us for an outdoor, hands-on workshop on how to properly plant our new trees in Denver. We'll be planting three trees at Lake Middle School in West Colfax. We'll get a demonstration with the first tree, then split into two groups to practice what we learn about proper planting technique.
