Groundwork Denver is a community-based nonprofit that partners with local residents and organizations, the City and other governmental agencies, foundations and private businesses to create programs that improve the environment one community at a time.

About Groundwork USA www.groundworkusa.net

Groundwork USA is a network of independent, not-for-profit, environmental businesses called Groundwork Trusts. Each Groundwork organization works with communities to improve their environment, economy and quality of life through local action by getting local people, businesses, government and other organizations involved in practical projects. The Groundwork USA network is built on partnership and linked together by the Groundwork USA national office, with support from the Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program. There are currently fifteen independent Groundwork Trusts in the network. Here is the 2006 Groundwork USA Year in Review. [Click here to download pdf.]
