Mission Statement
The Park People's mission is to work with communities to plant trees and improve parks for a healthy, resilient future.
Description
We are a private, non-profit organization that was founded in Denver in 1969. Since that time, we have devoted ourselves to improving the quality of life for communities throughout Denver by protecting and enhancing our green spaces and urban trees. 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.
We primarily engage volunteers through our Denver Digs Trees program, which provides free and affordable trees to Denver residents. We also cultivate knowledgeable and skilled volunteers through our Community Forester program, which engages volunteers in planting and stewarding the city forest.
With a small staff, we are fortunate to have an amazing team of dedicated and passionate volunteers who make our work possible and welcome you to join us!

I've volunteered with The Park People for Denver Digs events and collaborated with them on a community outreach event called Parking Day. It's been a pleasure every time. They are so fun to work with!
