About High Line Canal Conservancy

The High Line Canal Conservancy is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit that leads region-wide efforts to permanently protect, steward, and enhance the 71-mile High Line Canal corridor serving the Denver metro area.

The Conservancy works through partnerships with Denver Water and the multiple jurisdictions along the Canal to advance trail improvements, ecological restoration, community-driven planning, and long‑term funding mechanisms to ensure public access and environmental benefits for future generations.

In recent years the organization has focused on implementing the Community Vision Plan, advancing trail and stormwater projects, and expanding community engagement and stewardship programs across high-priority reaches of the Canal.

Notable achievements
