Support Denver's 71-mile trail

Access to nature in urban areas is vital to the health of people and the environment.

The High Line Canal is a cherished asset of the Denver metro region. At 71 miles long, it connects 15 distinct communities, 24 schools, 8,000 acres of open spaces, and over 1 million users annually from its start in Waterton Canyon to its terminus in Green Valley Ranch. 

The High Line Canal Conservancy was formed in 2014 and represents the passionate community dedicated to preserving, protecting and enhancing this historic greenway. The non-profit's vision for the future is a permanently preserved 71-mile linear greenway that:

1. Creates Connections: the Canal connects diverse communities and people to each other and nature
2. Enhances Recreation: the Canal serves as a recreational spine that connects a regional trail system
3. Supports Local Economies: the Canal is an urban generator that boosts the economy of surrounding communities
4. Improves Environmental Health and Climate Resiliency: the Canal is an ecological asset supporting 71-miles of wildlife and natural environment

To achieve these goals, the High Line Canal Conservancy is currently working to:

• plant new trees along the canal corridor to replace aging cottonwoods 
• build underpasses and enhance current road crossings for users to safely cross busy intersections
• implement green infrastructure in the canal to create a healthy stormwater management system
• engage diverse and marginalized communities in the Northeast sections in local trail enhancement planning
• host community programs and events along the Canal, including cleanups, brush removals, nature walks and environmental education

The Conservancy is working to better this trail and preserve it for current and future generations. With your donation, the Conservancy can make the Plan for the High Line Canal a reality.
