Welcome

The Park People works to preserve, enhance, and advocate for Denver's parks, recreation resources, open space and urban forest. We pursue this mission by raising private funds for capital projects of various sizes, parks enhancements, and through our flagship program, Denver Digs Trees.

Current Park People projects include: The Denver Digs Trees Fall Shade Tree Program, which provides free and low-cost trees for Denver residents to plant in their yards to help conserve energy and save money. Apply now for a shade tree for your yard!  The Community Forester Program trains citizens to become knowledgeable and skilled foresters who help grow and steward Denver's urban forest. The Park People has also recently been awarded a significant grant from the State Historical Fund. Along with matching funds that we've already raised, we are poised to begin Phase I of the renovation of the James Fleming House located in Platt Park. Check back often to find out what we're up to.
