Public open houses scheduled to introduce the High Line Canal Conservancy and upcoming summer outreach efforts for the High Line Canal.
The High Line Canal Conservancy will be hosting a series of public events this Spring inviting citizens to learn more about the newly formed Conservancy and its planning initiative to preserve, protect and enhance all 71 miles of this magnificent greenway.
Events will include a brief presentation about the organization and their upcoming public outreach and vision planning, a preview of the Conservancy’s video, One Community One Canal, and a question and answer session.
The future of the High Line Canal is in transition and the Conservancy, in partnership with Denver Water, the municipal jurisdictions within the Canal’s reach and citizens like you, is committed to ensuring its vibrant legacy as a timeless and protected 71-mile linear greenway for the entire Denver metro region.
Because this is your Canal, the Conservancy invites you, your neighbors and friends to come to learn and connect! Learn about the Conservancy and the team as they prepare for a summer of public outreach; and connect, by sharing why you love the Canal – your stories, memories, photos, and more. The Learn + Connect Series will take place throughout April and May in the communities along the Canal. See below for a full list of event dates and locations.
