In spite of all the snow currently on the ground, ECM projects are right around the corner! We are looking forward to another great year of ECM projects that connect neighbors and make a tangible difference in the neighborhoods where we work. Take a look at the different ways you can get involved and let me know if you have any questions because these efforts are only possible through the partnership we have with each of you.

Go...and make a difference in the Westwood neighborhood on Saturday, April 25. Our annual project (formerly The Big Day of Serving) will include community-based projects such as alley cleaning, garden planting, graffiti removal, tree planting, and other projects that arise. We'll wrap up the day with a block party to celebrate all the great projects accomplished in the neighborhood that day, while cheering on the Colorado Rockies at the baseball game that night. For more information, check out this flyer. Hope you can join us to make an impact in Westwood!
Extreme Teams
We had a great Extreme Teams kick-off meeting last week, but there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. Teams that can use additional team members include:
Supplies - this team helps establish connections with local businesses to get free and discounted materials and supplies for our projects.
Survey - this team helps communicate with our Spanish-speaking neighbors with team members who are bilingual. Check out this video from someone currently on the team.
Video - this team tells stories from our projects through video clips.
If you would like to learn more about these teams, or any of the other Extreme Teams, click here and fill out the form on our website and we will be in touch with you soon.
Community Forester Training
Have you ever wanted to learn more about trees, advocate for our urban forest, educate others, or help improve your community's tree canopy? Now is an excellent time to do just that. The Park People, in partnership with Denver Parks & Recreation, hosts the Community Forester training program to teach volunteers to become stewards of the urban forest and to help build a strong network of skilled and knowledgeable volunteer foresters!
