Who We Are

The High Line Canal Conservancy is a nonprofit representing the passionate community dedicated to preserving the High Line Canal. The Conservancy provides leadership to guide preservation and enhancement efforts working collaboratively with the public and Conservancy partners, including Denver Water, the 11 jurisdictions along the Canal’s reach and Mile High Flood District. The Conservancy’s efforts will lead to a natural, more connected corridor with improved access, amenities and safety for trail users.

What We Do

The mission of the High Line Canal Conservancy is to preserve, protect and enhance the 71-mile-long Canal in partnership with the public.

To accomplish this mission, we work to:

  • Ensure permanent protection of the 71-mile Canal with sustainable funding and enhancements
  • Enhance public use of the Canal through improved access, safety and quality of visitor experience
  • Improve the Canal’s environmental health through stormwater management and other ecological enhancements for region-wide benefits

The Community Vision: The High Line Canal’s 71 meandering miles will be preserved and enhanced as a cherished greenway that connects people to nature and binds varied communities together from the foothills to the plains.
